Malaysia has representative in almost all categories, leaving women's doubles on INA-THA contest. They have decent chance to seal men's discipline gold medal, powered by Lee Zii Jia and Aaron Chia/Soh WY. Thai singles players have flop performance, Kantaphon Wangcharoen had good start in opening game but totally blank and outmaneuvered by faster Loh Kean Yew. Women's singles presents the most surprising yet unpredictable outcome, two underdogs Ruselli Hartawan and Selvaduray Kisona stun more favoured Thailand players, Pornpawee Chochuwong and Nitchaon Jindapol respectively. Interesting fact that both Hartawan and Kisona are the substitute of Fitriani and Goh Jin Wei. Barring any big upsets, mixed doubles and women's doubles SEAG champion will going to INA pair, Jordan/Oktavianti and Polii/Rahayu.
A thrilling yet very close XD gold medal match, a perfect and bit lucky service by Jordan delivers last point for INA pair as the shuttlecock touches the net, it's difficult for Goh SH to return properly instead of wide shot. First gold medal for INA in badminton individual event, congrats
