Indonesia increased its advantage by winning in the second party, the pair Muhammad Shohibul Fikri / Bagas Maulana. They beat Hee Yong Kai Terry/Loh Kean Hean in two straight games 21-15, 21-17 with a duration of 29 minutes.

Unfortunately, in the third match, Christian Adinata lost to Jia Heng Jason. In the three game match Christian lost 21-15, 12-21, 14-21. Score became 2-1.

Indonesia’s victory was determined by the Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Erich Yoche Rambitan pair who defeated Nge Joo Jie/Johann Prajogo 21-18, 21-16.

The steps for the men’s team followed in the footsteps of the women’s team which a few hours earlier had also made sure of qualifying for the final after beating the Philippines 3-0.
