PETALING JAYA: Malaysia took an early 1-0 lead against Japan in the Thomas Cup quarter-finals in Chengdu, China, when national men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia trounced Kenta Nishimoto 21-13, 21-3 in their opening match, Bernama reported.
Four matches remain to be played in the quarter-finals tie at the Hi-Tech Zone Sports Centre in Chengdu.
Malaysia have defeated Japan four times and lost three times in their previous encounters.
If Malaysia win today, they will face the winners of the tie between top seeds China and India.
