KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia ended Thailand’s reign as the world sepaktakraw powerhouses by winning the Premier Division regu title in the Sepaktakraw World Cup after a 2-0 win at the Titiwangsa Stadium here tonight.
The National trio comprising Farhan Adam (feeder), Mohammad Syahir Mohd Rosdi (server) and Mohamad Azlan Alias (killer) proved that Malaysia is a force to be reckoned with in world sepaktakraw by defeating their arch-rival and defending champion 15-8 and 15-12 in straight sets.
The win helped avenge the disappointment of losing to Thailand in the final of the previous World Cup hosted by South Korea.
