On February 16, the semifinals of the women's team of the Asian Badminton Team Competition were released, and the Chinese team lost to Japan 2-3, a rare miss to the semifinals. The other three who advanced to the semi-finals were Indonesia, India and Thailand, and it was very surprising that Indonesia and Thailand, who were also substitutes, could reach the semi-finals.
China 2-3 Japan
China and Japan are traditional strong teams, and although the Chinese team is a substitute, they are still optimistic about advancing to the semi-finals. Unfortunately, to the surprise of fans, the Chinese team lost to India 2-3 in the group stage, and the strongest Japan was drawn in the knockout round.
Facing the Japanese team, the Chinese team gave up the strongest women's doubles pair Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning, and the Chinese team lost the hope of advancing early. In the two advantageous women's singles matches, Han Yue 2-0 Aya Ohori and Wang Zhiyi 2-1 Aoyuan Hope, which made the Chinese team see the hope of advancing for a while.
However, in the women's doubles match, Li Jingyi/Luo Xumin lost 1-2 to Nami Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida, and Keng Shuliang/Zhang Chi 0-2 Reina Miyaura/Ayako Sakuramoto, and the score did not exceed 10 points in both games. Let the big score of the two sides come to 2-2.
In the third women's singles that decided the outcome of the outcome, Chen Lu, who made her debut, also did not withstand the pressure, losing to Renping Natsuki 20-22, 12-21, and the Chinese team lost to Japan 2-3 and missed the semifinals. Losing the match, it can be seen that there is a big gap between the strength of China's reserve women's doubles combination and the main players, and the strength of the young women's singles players is also poor.
India 3-0 Hong Kong
The Indian team did not have a good lineup, but against Hong Kong, China, which was also of average strength, the Indian team won a big victory. In the first women's singles match, Sindhu 2-1 Lu Shanen, and in the women's doubles match after that, Krasto/Ponnapa 2-0 Yang Yating/Yang Peilin, in the second singles match, Chariha 2-0 Yang Xinyi, and the Indian team easily defeated Hong Kong, China 3-0 to advance to the semifinals.
Thailand 3-1 Chinese Taipei
In the first women's singles match, Ge Tong lost 0-2 to Xu Minqi, Zongkong Pan/Rawinda 2-1 Xu Yaqing/Lin Wanqing, Busanan 2-0 Bai Yupo, Benyapa/Renta Karn 2-1 Hu Ayafang/Yang Jingdun. Thailand advanced to the semi-finals.
Indonesia 3-0 Malaysia
The strength of the Indonesian women's team is not strong, and the main players are still missing, and it is really a big surprise that they can reach the semifinals. Valdani narrowly defeated Reshana 2-1, Lenny/Libeca defeated Chen Kangle/Tina 2-1, and Esther beat Huang Lingqing 2-1. 3 games 2-1, helping Indonesia advance to the semi-finals.
So far, Japan, India, Thailand, and Indonesia have advanced to the semifinals. This lineup should be the weakest in history, except for a few famous players in the Japanese team, the other three teams are all fourth-rate players. Japan has the best chance of winning the championship, and the championship is likely to be theirs.
