Uber Thomas Cup Schedule 2024: Indonesia Fights To Win Group

Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto and colleagues are targeted to win the 2024 Thomas Cup (Instagram/@badminton.ina).

JAKARTA The Indonesian men's and women's team will compete for the status of group winners in the last match of the 2024 Uber Thomas Cup preliminary phase, Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at the Hi-Tech Zone Sports Center Gymnasium.

The men's team will face India in the last match of Group C of the 2024 Thomas Cup to determine who the group winners are.

The Indonesian vs India duel will take place at 18.00 WIB. Indonesia and India previously played two matches together. Both of them also won over Thailand and England.

The two victories actually made the two countries automatically secure ticket to the quarter-finals.

Currently, Indonesia is securing the top position of Group C. Fajar Alfian and his friends were followed by India in second place and Thailand in third place and England in a distended position.

The determination of the winners of Group C has an important meaning for Indonesia and India. The team that won the group has an advantage in the draw for the quarter-finals later.

In the last eight draw system, the group winners will meet other group runners-up teams. Therefore, the potential to fight against a stronger opponent is very small.

However, India is not an easy opponent for Indonesian troops. They are the defending champions of the Thomas Cup and are still champions to be able to defend this year's men's team championship title.

India won the 2022 edition of the Thomas Cup after defeating Indonesia in the final. At that time, Indonesia lost badly with a score of 0-3 against Chirag Shetty and friends.

Indonesia came to the 2024 Thomas Cup with the ambition to bring home the trophy. The last time Indonesia won this event was in the 2020 edition which was held in 2021 because it was delayed due to the corona pandemic.

For three money with the women's team, Indonesia will also compete for the status of group winners in the last match of Group C of the 2024 Uber Cup against Japan.

The Indonesia vs Japan match is scheduled to take place at 09.00 local time or 10.00 western Indonesia time.

Currently, the Indonesian women's team is in second place in Group C standings by collecting two wins over Hong Kong and Uganda.

Japan achieved a similar result, but they excel in the difference in points over Indonesia.

Unlike the men's team, the Indonesian women's team is targeted to only penetrate the 2024 Uber Cup semifinals.
