    First, let's make some assumptions.

    Ina to win both doubles (all Ina doubles players are in top form).
    Chn to win 1st (Lin Dan) and 3rd (anyone) singles.

    Anything other than a Sony/Taufik/whoever singles lineup is suicidal for Ina, while China has a choice for second and third singles.

    So, it boils down to Taufik vs Bao/Xia/Chen Hong. Chen Hong has a bad record against Taufik (0-5) and will probably not be fielded against him. As for Bao and Xia, I think they both have an equal chance of defeating Taufik, but for me, both will start as underdogs. If I were Li Yongbo, I'll decide on who has the better form at the moment.

    Of course, Sony or Fu/Cai have the ability to break the balance as well.

    This tie will be fought ferociously as the winner will have a much higher chance of getting to the final (Japan, Korea - now probably the weakest team among the top 5), compared to the loser (Malaysia, Denmark - the 3rd and 4th favourites, not in order).

    If Indo will play their scratch pairs, it will be Flandy (or Eng Hian)and Chandra for their no.1 and Alven (or Luluk) and Trikus for no.2. The reason for doing so is replaced the weaker link in the pair by more experience one. Chandra and Trikus has been changing partner so often and will have no problem with new partner.

    If that is possible, then China would be fielding Lin Dan as their 2nd singles too cos he is the only one that can beat taufik now...Then every country would be doing the same thing so in the end the top ranked players will be playing for 3rd singles and vice-versa... :D That's why they have to follow the ranking system...

    Most probably Lindan will either play in the 1st or 2nd singles. I don't think he have much experience in playing in a pressured games like this just in case the match will go on the line.

    Taufik Vs Chen Hong 1st Singles

    Luluk/Alven vs Cai/Fu 1st Doubles

    Sony vs Lindan 2nd Singles

    Candra/Trikus vs Zheng/Sang 2nd Doubles

    Simon vs Xia 3rd Singles

    That is probably the best lineup against INA but they can't be fielded that way - it have to based on their world rankings.

    We have made a prediction which players should go to the battle.
    But Indo and China coach have decided thier line up as follow :

    Indo vs China :
    Sony vs Lin Dan
    Taufik vs Bao CL
    Simon vs Xia
    Alven/Luluk vs Cai/Fu
    Candra/Tri Kush vs Sang/Zheng

    Not too surprise, isn't it ?
    Can wait the result. Especially between Taufik vs Bao and Candra/Tri Kush vs Sang/Zheng.

    Does HongHong love them (Lin, Xia, Chen Yu) so much so she forgets whole team strategy? :D
