Selamat Hari Merdeka, everybody!
Malaysia beat Singapore today 116-101 in our final group match, and coupled with the unexpected result of another match in which New Zealand beat favourites Iran 127-115, Malaysia are No. 2 in our final group standings behind China.
In the other group, Australia and Hong Kong are the top 2 teams. That means (I guess) Malaysia will play Australia in a playoff match with the winner advancing to the World Championships next season.
Australia is the top dog in Asia region, so it will not be easy for Malaysia. But as I always say, I'll try my best!
Cheers.
