PETALING JAYA: Shuttler M. Thinaah’s vast experience could be the key as she leads Malaysia’s women’s team in their bid to reach the Uber Cup quarter-finals in Horsens, Denmark, from April 24-May 3.

Former world No. 1 women’s doubles player Wong Pei Tty (pic) remains confident of the team’s chances of ending a 16-year wait for a place in the last eight, despite the absence of Thinaah’s partner, Pearly Tan.
