RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesian women’s national badminton team is treating its decisive Group C encounter against Taiwan at the Uber Cup 2026 in Horsens, Denmark as more than just a battle for the top spot but also as a test of depth and resilience that will shape preparations for the knockout rounds.

The match, scheduled for Tuesday at 3 p.m. Jakarta time, will determine the group winner after both teams secured victories in their first two ties. The winner will advance to the quarterfinals as Group C leader.

Indonesia opened with Putri Kusuma Wardani in the first women’s singles against Chiu Pin-Chian, a familiar rival whom Putri has beaten in four of their five previous meetings, including a straight-game win at the China Masters 2025.

The second match features doubles pair Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti against Hsieh Pei Shan/Hung En-Tzu, marking their first-ever meeting. Consistency and composure are expected to be decisive.

In the third singles, Ni Kadek Dhinda Amartya Pratiwi faces world No. 19 Lin Hsiang Ti, while doubles duo Rachel Allessya Rose/Febi Setianingrum take on Taiwan’s world No. 11 pair Hsu Yin-Hui/Lin Jhih Yun in the fourth match.

The tie concludes with Ester Nurumi Tri Wardoyo against Huang Yu-Hsun, a match that could prove pivotal if the contest goes the distance.

With strong head-to-head records and a full-strength lineup, Indonesia is banking on momentum and discipline to secure the group crown while drawing valuable lessons for the tougher battles ahead. ***
