JAKARTA The Indonesian men's badminton team advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2024 Badminton Asia Team Championship (BATC) with the status of the group runners-up.

Indonesia failed to win Group D after losing 2-3 against South Korea in the last group stage match at the Setia City Convention Center, Selangor, Malaysia, Thursday, February 15, 2024, WIB night.

Indonesia got the runner-up position after the men's singles Yohanes Saut Marcellyno lost the 13-21, 21-18, and 11-21 game teams against Woo Seung-hoon in the last match.

"Praise God and still grateful. Even though it hasn't worked, I can finish the match smoothly and without injury. Today the opponent played better than me. I have spent all my skills in this match," said Saut after the match.

"Because I failed to contribute points in the last party, of course I was disappointed. Even so, there are still the next matches. I must not be late in disappointment," he said.

In the match against South Korea, Indonesia secured the first point through the men's singles Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo. Chico won dramatically three games 21-17, 23-21, and 22-20 against Lee Yun-gyu.

South Korea then equalized after the Kang Min-hyuk/Seo Seung-jae pair stopped the Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri doubles in a dramatic two-game match with a score of 26-24 and 22-20.

Indonesia kemudian kembali unggul 2-1 di partai ketiga. Tunggal putra Alwi Farhan sukses menghentikan lawannya Cho Geonyep dua gim langsung 21-13 dan 22-20.

Furthermore, in the fourth match, Indonesia lost again after Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin lost to rubber games 21-18, 15-21, and 12-21 against Ki Dong-ju/Kim Won-ho.

The defeat against South Korea made Indonesia qualify for the quarter-finals as group runners-up. Indonesia's previous two victories were won against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
