Malaysia beat traditional rival Indonesia to march elegantly into the Finals to meet Japan who earlier deliver an upset by beating world badminton giant China. The finals is on Sunday 25th May 2014.

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?

The first point came from Lee Chong Wei after beating Tommy Sugiarto 21-19, 21-13 and Tan Boon Heong-Hoon Thien How were not given a ghost of a chance against reigning world and All-England champions Mohammad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan, but they proved their sceptics wrong by winning 21-19, 8-21, 23-21.

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
