JAKARTA - The 2021 SEA Games team badminton has entered the semifinals, Tuesday, May 17. The Indonesian men's and women's teams will face opponents who can be considered a threat.
The Indonesian women's team will face Vietnam in the last four. The match will start at 09.00 WIB.
In the match against Vietnam, the Red and White Squad fielded the best composition. Gregoria Mariska, Apriyani Rahayu and Putri Kusuma Wardani were immediately taken down.
The Indonesian women's team has the advantage in the match against Vietnam. The reason is, they don't need to sweat to get into the semifinals because they get a bye.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian men's team will face Thailand. The manager of the Indonesian badminton team, Eddy Prayitno, said the meeting with Thailand would be quite difficult for the Indonesian team.
The reason is, the White Elephant Country has one of their mainstay players, Sitthikom Thamsin, who was not selected in the quarter-final match against the Philippines.
"Tomorrow the men's team will meet Thailand. It will not be easy so I hope they can be more focused, more enthusiastic and alert. Whoever is selected must show their best," said Eddy in a written statement.
"Thailand today saves Sitthikom Thamsin. Tomorrow it will most likely come down against us. The second single that is sent later must be extra vigilant because the energy is still fresh," he continued.
