JAKARTA The Indonesian women's team badminton team has successfully reached the semifinals of the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia. They went that far after stopping the host Cambodia.

Indonesia qualified for the semifinals after winning over Cambodia with a landslide score of 3-0 at Morodok Techo, Tuesday 9 May 2023. Furthermore, the Red and White team will meet the Philippines on Wednesday, May 10 at 10.00 WIB.

The Philippines itself managed to reach the semifinals after making a surprise by beating Malaysia with a landslide score of 3-0.

Head of PBSI Development and Achievement Division Rionny Mainaky advised the players to display a game full of confidence in tomorrow's match. They were also asked not to think about the surprises created by the Philippines.

"For tomorrow because the preparations are good, I hope the players can appear with high confidence and confidence. I think we can overcome the resistance of the Philippine team," Rionny said in a statement received.

When the host of Cambodia crushed, Indonesia's sweet journey began with the victory of the women's singles Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi over Phon Chenda 21-4, 21-4.

The women's doubles Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amalia Cahaya Pratiwi then doubled the score with a 21-15, 21-12 victory over Chheng Huy/Seavty Teav. Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo finally closed Indonesia's victory by beating Heang Leakhaena 21-6, 21-8.

"I saw the first singles, the second doubles and the second single played quite well. Indeed, it can be seen that the warm-up is also good and they don't hesitate. I hope tomorrow it will look even better," said Rionny.

Rionny also paid special attention to the players who did not have time to compete. Rexy Mainaky's brother also gave a training program so that his players' condition was maintained.

"Earlier, there were indeed some of our players who did not have time to go down, so I gave them a training program for about an hour to keep their condition and performance stable. Because for one day they don't practice or compete, it will have an effect," said Rionny.

Apart from the women's team, the men's team will also compete in the semifinals tomorrow. Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo cs will meet Singapore on field one at 12.30 WIB.
