The final team game between Singapore and China went in favour of China Team as they dominated fully with 3 straight wins. In the first game, China’s Wang Nan defeated Singapore’s Feng Tianwei. Later in the second game, Singapore’s Li Jiawei managed to won the first set but eventually lost to China’s Zhang Yining in a hard fought battle. The last game was Women’s doubles which went in favour of China.
