KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 — The national badminton squad maintained their momentum at the 2025 Sudirman Cup by defeating Australia 4-1 in their second Group C match at the Xiamen Fenghuang Gymnasium in China, strengthening their bid for a quarter-final berth.

This follows Malaysia’s 5-0 thrashing of France in yesterday’s opening match, placing them among the top two in Group C. Only the top two teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals.

Malaysia will wind up their group campaign against third seeds Japan this Thursday.
