The victory made Indonesia superior to China 3-0 and entitled to the 2020 Thomas Cup.
This is the 14th time that Indonesia has won the Thomas Cup, but the last time was in 2002, so 19 years ago.
But this year’s victory without raising the red and white saka was due to the sanctions that Indonesia received for not handling the doping issue according to international standards.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian women’s team previously failed to win in the quarter-finals for the 2020 Uber Cup, a symbol of the supremacy of the world’s women’s badminton team. (T/RE1)
