Chengdu: Malaysia will face Group B champions Japan in the quarter-finals of the Thomas Cup 2024 here on May 2.

The last time Malaysia , which made the cut to the quarter-finals as Group D runners-up, played against the 2014 champions was during the last edition in Bangkok.Should the national team overcome Japan, they will have a chance of coming up against either hosts and Group A champions, China, or reigning champions and Group C runners-up, India, in the semi-finals.

“For the doubles, our chances are 50-50. The things we need to strengthen are focus, commitment, and psychology – that’s all we need to do ,” he told Malaysian media here.Professional men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia would be the safest bet for Malaysia to earn a point as he is the only Malaysian player in the top 10 world ranking. Others are ranked outside the top 30 such as Leong Jun Hao , Cheam June Wei and Justin Hoh .

Group C and 14-time champions Indonesia will be up against Group A runners-up, South Korea on Friday.
