During the semifinals Chong Wei Feng sealed the victory over Indonesian Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka in a straight set 21-10, 21-17. Is he the new Chong Wei?

Thomas Cup 2014 is just one step away for Malaysia after the last victory in 1992 on home ground. Then Malaysia in Group B beat Denmark and United Kingdom 5-0 and 4-1 respectively before ousting China 3-2 in the Semi-finals to meet Indonesia. In the Final Malaysia beat arch rival Indonesia 3-2

Now its every Malaysian's hope that the cup will return to Kuala Lumpur. Japan might be an easier opponent to beat, but over confident will turn the result otherwise. 

The Final will be played at 3.00 pm (5.30 Malaysian Time). 

ALL THE BEST FOR MALAYSIA
