JAKARTA - The Indonesian women's doubles badminton squad managed to win mercilessly over Australia in the second match of the 2026 Uber Cup Group C qualifying round, a result that made them qualify for the quarterfinals.
The clash between the two countries took place at the Horsens Forum, Denmark, on Sunday, April 26, 2026, WIB night, until Monday, April 27, 2026, WIB early morning. Indonesia also won easily with a score of 5-0 to secure a ticket to the knockout round.
Indonesia's first point was contributed by the single badminton player Putri Kusuma Wardani. He secured a landslide victory in two straight games 21-5 and 21-10 when he came down as the first female singles against Tiffany Ho.
This result made up for his defeat when he was the first women's singles when Indonesia met Canada in the first match of the group stage. In that match, he lost three games against Michelle Le.
"As the first singles, of course, his desire is to continue to contribute points and we are group champions as well. After yesterday's defeat, I tried to enjoy it more and focus again on today's match," Putri said in a statement.
Indonesia then added an advantage through the second women's singles, Thalita Ramadhani Wiryawan. The 18-year-old shuttler also managed to win two straight games over Faye Huo, ending with a score of 21-11 and 21-14.
Thalita also previously received the trust to play in the match against Canada and managed to secure victory over Wen Yu Zhang.
"If you are trusted to go down against China Taipei, then tomorrow you will definitely have to prepare first, there will be a practice first. Now try to recover and eat well too," he said.
Indonesia's points were then contributed by the women's singles Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo and the women's doubles Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti and Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma/Rachel Allessya Rose.
Ester won over Jesslyn Carrisia two games 21-14 and 21-5, Amallia/Fadia lost one game against Gronya Somerville/Angela Yu which ended with a score of 19-21, 21-8, and 21-11, and Febriana/Rachel defeated Jesslyn Carrisia/Victoria Tjonadi 21-7 and 21-12.
This is Indonesia's second victory after previously having to go through a dramatic match against Canada which ended with 3-2. The result against Australia made Indonesia rise to the top of the standings.
Indonesia will then face China Taipei in the last group stage match on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. Both teams need a win to lock in their status as group champions.
