PETALING JAYA: It was sweet revenge and mission accomplished for Malaysia against Hong Kong at the World Women’s Team Championship in Cairo on Wednesday.

The young squad, led by Rachel Arnold, avenged their Asian Team final defeat to Hong Kong in Cheongjun, South Korea last month as they notched an impressive 3-0 win over their traditional rivals to storm into the semi-finals at the Egyptian capital.
