CRICKET
Malaysian cricketers moved a step closer to securing their second gold at the SEA Games Thailand 2025 after notching two emphatic wins in the men’s T10 event at the Asian Institute of Technology here.
Fresh from clinching the men’s T20 gold last Saturday, Malaysia brushed aside Singapore by seven wickets before extending their dominance with a nine-wicket rout of hosts Thailand to stay unbeaten in the round-robin competition.
The double victory kept Malaysia firmly at the top of the standings, with the national side set to face Indonesia in their final match at TerdThai Cricket Ground tomorrow.
AQUATHLON
Malaysia settled for bronze in the mixed team relay event after the quartet of Wen May Ng, Sze Hui Teo, Ee Hann Kann and Nicholas Seh Kit Long clocked 1 hour 8 minutes 37 seconds at Leam Mae Phim, Klaeng district, more than two hours from here.
The national team finished behind Indonesia, who struck gold in 1:04:14s, while the Philippines claimed silver with 1:04:58s.

The victory allows Sarjit Singh's team to finish the round-robin league in the top position and will face fourth-placed Singapore in the semi-finals on Thursday.
The other semi-final will see Thailand take on Indonesia.
Meanwhile, in the women's competition, Malaysia also fulfilled expectations by advancing to the semi-finals as round-robin league champions, despite a 1-1 draw against Thailand in their final match.
