Takraw: Brunei in Malaysia’s way to final

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia checked into the semi-finals of the ISTAF SuperSeries Finals 2013/14 after chalking up a fairly straightforward 2-0 win over Japan.

Malaysia’s first choice regu of Izurin Refin (tekong), Muqlis Borhan (feeder) and Hanafiah Dolah (killer) were the early aggressors, racing to a 9-0 lead, before eventually winning the first set 15-1. Malaysia had to stave off the Japanese attack to take the second set 15-9 at the Titiwangsa Stadium on Friday.
