Sudirman Cup: Malaysia checks into semi-finals after 12 years

What a joy it was for Malaysia as the young national badminton team checked into the semi-finals of the 2021 Sudirman Cup at Vantaa, Finland, after 12 years.

It was a hard-earned victory as Malaysia had endured a long battle that lasting almost six hours to subdue their arch-rivals, Indonesia, 3-2, and equalised their best performance in the mixed team championship, they did back in the 2009 edition in Guangzhou, China.
