ALOR SETAR: Fifth-seeded Malaysia are not banking on pulling any rabbits out of their hat when they face favourites China in the quarter-finals of the mixed team event at the World Junior Championships.

It was hardly convincing stuff from the hosts as they came away with a hard-fought 3-2 win over 14th seeds India in their final Group Z2 match at the Sultan Abdul Halim Stadium on Tuesday.
