The prediction of the Malaysia vs Indonesia line-up in the 2021 Sudirman Cup
The prediction of the Malaysia vs Indonesia line-up in the 2021 Sudirman Cup quarter-finals is compiled. The Head of Binpres PP PBSI, Rionny Mainaky, said he was optimistic that Indonesia would beat Malaysia.
Therefore, he will field all the best Indonesian players. This means that the majority of Indonesian players who participated in the match against Denmark have the potential to return to play in the match versus Malaysia.

"I'm sure the children can perform optimally with our strengths. In all sectors, we will showcase our core and strongest strengths. "I hope all players can play optimally like yesterday against Denmark," said Rionny Mainaky quoting from the PBSI release, Friday (1/10/2021).
In the men's singles number, Indonesia is likely to rely on Anthony Sinisuka Ginting. Anthony Ginting's head-to-head record is also dominant over Malaysia's mainstay men's singles, Lee Zii Jia. Of the three meetings, Anthony Ginting always won.
Then in the women's singles number, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung is predicted to return after being rested in the match against Canada and Denmark. Gregoria Mariska may meet Kisona Selvaduray.
In record, Gregoria Mariska and Kisona Selvaduray beat each other alias their record is as strong as 1-1. The last meeting occurred in the semifinals of the 2018 Finland Open and Gregoria Mariska won the rubber game, namely 21-12, 12-21 and 21-19.
How about men's doubles? Captain Hendra Setiawan and his partner, Mohammad Ahsan, have not yet played in the 2021 Sudirman Cup. It is possible that in this match they will be fielded and meet Malaysia's men's doubles, bronze medalists at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Aaron Chia / Soh Wooi Yik.
So far, Ahsan/Hendra are ahead with seven wins compared to two over Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik. However, in the last meeting that was created in the race for the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Ahsan / Hendra fell in the rubber game. Even so, this world number two pair must have learned the mistake they made in the last meeting.

Lastly, Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti competed in the mixed doubles. They will be challenged by Hoo Pang Ron/Cheah Yee See. So far, the two partners have never met.
So, can Indonesia overthrow Malaysia and qualify for the 2021 Sudirman Cup semifinals? In the 2021 Sudirman Cup semifinals, Indonesia will face the winner of the Taiwan vs Japan match.
