KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia are on the verge of securing their first badminton gold at the Asian Para Games in Ichinomiya City, with Cheah Liek Hou-Faris Azri needing one more victory in the SU5 men's doubles tomorrow.
Liek Hou-Faris will clinch gold if they beat South Korea's Jeon Sun Woo-Kim Ge Yeon in their final round-robin match tomorrow.
The Malaysian pair are undefeated after beating Taiwan's Fang Jen Yu-Pu Gui Yu and Thailand's Pricha Somsiri-Nattaphon Thaweesap in a four-pair event.
Two-time Paralympic champion Liek Hou said the men's doubles gold would be crucial for Malaysia after failing to win a title at Hangzhou 2022.
