THE Malaysian women's bowling team battled courageously for nine hours but their efforts proved futile as the South Koreans fended them off to clinch the team of six title.

Shalin Zulkifli, Esther Cheah, Sin Li Jane, Siti Safiyah Amirah Abdul Rahman, Syaidatul Afifah Badrul Hamidi and Natasha Roslan amassed a 36-game total of 8,149 pinfalls to finish 189 pins behind South Korea's sextet of Baek Seung-ja, Han Byul, Kim Hyun-mi, Lee Na-young, Lee Yeon Ji and Rye Seo-yeon (8,338) in a wire-to-wire contest.
