Kuala Lumpur, May 13: Indonesia are confident of a Uber Cup win over hosts Malaysia but coach Hadi Nasri has warned her girls not to take their opponents lightly.
Hadi knows only too well that a defeat to lower ranked Malaysia could put them out of the Uber Cup semifinal for the first time.
"The Malaysian girls seem to be playing well and should not be taken lightly. Look how they played against Japan. The Japanese girls nearly lost. We must be wary of this," she said.
For today's Pink Group tie, Malaysia have removed third singles player Woon Sze Mei with teenager Wong Pei Tty, thus making the Malaysian team the youngest in the tournament with an average age of 19.
Denmark should take all the honours in another Pink Group tie against Japan.
Led by Camilla Martin they were impressive in the opening match against Malaysia and defeated runner-up Indonesia in the second match.
Team manager Kenneth Larsen is in an upbeat mood seeing his women shuttlers adapting well the the tropical climate.
"In fact the cool conditions in the stadium is just right for our players. They are performing well and I hope to we can top the group," he said.
Despite the yawning gap between the Chinese and Korean women, the Koreans are likely to give their favoured opponents a hard fight in a Pruple Group tie.
The Koreans are known for the fighting qualities and are bent on giving China a run for their money.
Korean manager Kwon Seung-taik believes his players will stretch the Chinese in all five matches.
This match however, could go on a low profile as both the teams have already qualified for the semifinals.
In another Purple Group tie, the battle between two scandinavian countries, Holland and Sweden, will not change the order of standing in their group.
Both countries look even in the singles and doubles. But pride is at stake as Sweden and Holland, out of the running for the semifinal, will battle it out to avoid being the wooden-spoonist in their group.
