PHNOM PENH: An 18-year wait for the men's team gold continued as the shuttlers led by Leong Jun Hao went down 1-3 to archrivals Indonesia in the final at the SEA Games in Cambodia on Thursday .World No. 64 Jun Hao gave the team a great start after stunning world No. 19 Chico Aura 21-16, 21-13 at the Morodok Techo badminton hall in Phnom Penh but the others could not follow through.
Youngsters Beh Chun Meng-Goh Boon Zhe, ranked 76th in the world, gave a good account of themselves before going down 12-21, 20-22 to world No. 14 and last year’s All-England champions Mohd Shohibul Fikri-Bagas Maulana. Hope was on world No. 95 Lee Shun Yang to try and upset Christian Adinata but instead, he lost tamely 17-21, 9-21 to hand Indonesia a comfortable 2-0 lead.
Chia Weijie-Liew Xun fought hard to save the tie for Malaysia in the second doubles but narrowly went down 21-13, 16-21, 16-21 to Pramudya Kusumawardana-Yeremia Rambitan.
