PETALING JAYA: Singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia's solid win against Kento Momota is good enough to make up for Malaysia's loss to Japan in the semi-finals of the Sudirman Cup.

Malaysia fell short in their bid to reach their first final after succumbing to a 3-1 defeat against the second seeds at the Energia Areena in Vantaa, Finland on Saturday but kudos to every player for playing their hearts out.
