GOLD COAST: Defending champions Malaysia reached the mixed team final after a thumping 3-0 win over England. Debutant Soniia Cheah passed her test with flying colours when she defeated Chloe Birch 21-17, 15-21, 21-18 in an energy-sapping match to give Malaysia a comfortable 2-0 lead. Malaysia will take on India in the final on Monday. She gave a scare to the Malaysian camp when she slipped in the second game but after medical attention, the fired up Soniia continued play and went on beat her opponent. But, I'm surely playing tomorrow (against India)," said the determined player.
