PETALING JAYA: The women’s quartet of Sin Li Jane, Siti Safiyah Amirah Abdul Rahman, Natasha Roslan and Esther Cheah ensured that the Malaysian contingent did not return home empty-handed when they grabbed a bronze in the IBF World Cup.

The team had earlier went down 1-3 to Sweden in the semi-finals but roared back with a hard-fought 3-2 win over the United States in the bronze medal playoff at the Suncity Tenpin Bowl in Queensland, Australia, yesterday.
