CAIRO (Xinhua): China defeated Thailand 2-0 in the semifinals of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Junior Team Championships in Cairo on late Friday evening, setting up a title clash with Malaysia.
The Chinese team overcame an early deficit to secure victory at the Cairo Stadium Indoor Halls Complex, winning two straight sets under the tournament's relay scoring format in which players compete across five disciplines and accumulate points for their teams.
Yin Yiqing, an 18-year-old Chinese player, said the match was challenging because China was trailing when she entered the court.
"We had prepared thoroughly for the team competition format and practiced it many times during training," she told Xinhua after the match.
"I think I performed quite well today. I was able to stay in control of the match, manage the pace effectively, and put into practice what I had worked on in training," she added.
Her teammate Luo Jingyu, also 18, acknowledged the difficulties he faced in the men's singles and praised the strength of the Thai team.
"Today's match was quite challenging. As the first player to compete in the men's singles, I faced some difficulties, but I tried my best," Luo said, adding that he hoped to improve his performance in the next match.
Looking ahead to Saturday's final, Luo said, "If I get the chance to play, I will give it my all and fight for every point. I hope Team China can achieve a great result in the end."
Malaysia advanced to the final after defeating Indonesia 2-0 in the other semifinal earlier on Friday.
The team competition, also known as the Suhandinata Cup, runs from Oct 5 to 10 in Cairo and will be followed by the individual championships.

开罗（新华社）：周五晚间，中国队在开罗举行的世界羽联世界青年团体锦标赛半决赛中以2比0战胜泰国队，将在决赛中与马来西亚队争夺冠军。
中国队克服了开罗体育场室内体育馆综合体早期的劣势，最终取得胜利。在本次比赛的接力计分制下，中国队连赢两局，每队需参加五个项目的比赛，并为自己的队伍累积积分。
18岁的中国选手尹宜青表示，这场比赛很有挑战性，因为她上场时中国队还处于落后状态。
“我们对团体比赛形式做了充分的准备，并在训练中进行了多次练习，”赛后她告诉新华社记者。
“我觉得我今天表现得相当不错。我能够掌控比赛，有效地控制节奏，并将我在训练中学到的东西运用到比赛中，”她补充道。
她的队友罗景宇（也是18岁）承认自己在男子单打比赛中遇到的困难，并称赞了泰国队的实力。
“今天的比赛很有挑战性。作为第一个参加男单比赛的选手，我遇到了一些困难，但我尽力了，”罗说道，并补充说他希望在下一场比赛中能表现得更好。
展望周六的决赛，罗说：“如果我能上场，我会全力以赴，争取每一分。我希望中国队最终能取得好成绩。”
马来西亚队在周五早些时候的另一场半决赛中以 2-0 击败印度尼西亚队，晋级决赛。
团体赛（又称苏汉迪纳塔杯）将于 10 月 5 日至 10 日在开罗举行，之后将进行个人锦标赛。
