JAKARTA The Indonesian badminton team is aiming for the winning results when they meet Malaysia in the last match of Group B Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships (BAMTC) 2025.
Indonesia is scheduled to fight Malaysia on Thursday, February 13, 2025. Alwi Farhan and his friends have now confirmed tickets for the quarter-finals so they just have to hunt down the group title.
The captain of the Rinov Rivaldy team said that Indonesia should not be excessive even though it has confirmed itself to the knockout stages of the tournament.
"Tomorrow against Malaysia still has to be all-out. We are chasing the exact victory. So, whoever is fielded must play optimally and give his best," said Rinov in an official statement.

Indonesia has confirmed itself to get tickets to the quarter-finals after Malaysia lost when meeting Hong Kong on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, afternoon WIB.
Hong Kong's victory actually made Rinov and his friends more spacious. If you lose the last match, Indonesia can still qualify at least as runners-up.
To be able to get the status of group winners, Indonesia only needs to take victory against Malaysia later. Meanwhile, Malaysia needs to win if they want to qualify for the knockout round.
Women's doubles coach Prasetyo Restu Basuki said that Malaysia's desire to win would be very big so Indonesia needed to be vigilant.
"On paper, we are indeed superior. If we are in the field, the situation can change. So, the focus cannot be slack and the spirit dares to be pitted," said Prasetyo.
Hong Kong's victory over Malaysia makes the competition in Group B even more exciting. If you win over Malaysia then Indonesia will qualify as group winners and Hong Kong runners-up.
The main scenario is if you lose 2-3 to Malaysia, then Indonesia will still win the group. Malaysia also qualified for the knockout round with runner-up status.
Then, Malaysia automatically qualified as group winners if they could win 4-1 or 5-0 against Indonesia. If that happens, Indonesia will play runner-up.
