KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 (Bernama) -- Malaysia had no trouble confirming a place in the semi-finals after defeating Taiwan 2-0 in the doubles event of the 2025 Asian Sepak Takraw Cup at Titiwangsa Stadium here today.
In the concluding match to determine the runner-up of Group B, Malaysia fielded Muhammad Noraizat Mohd Nordin and Aidil Aiman Azwawi, who comfortably secured a 15-11 win in the first set.
The second set featured a tense contest as both teams traded points, but the re-entry of Muhammad Noraizat—who was temporarily replaced by Muhammad Redwan Hakim Muhammad—shifted the momentum back in Malaysia’s favour.
A powerful final serve by Muhammad Noraizat then sealed the victory at 17-15 for the national side.
Malaysia, as the runners-up of Group B, are scheduled to face Group A winners India in the semi-finals tomorrow.
