BANGKOK: A four-pin margin separated Malaysia from a place in the final as the national women’s bowling team settled for bronze at the SEA Games.
The national pairing of Adania Mohd Redzwan and Nur Hazirah Ramli began their campaign at Blu-o Rhythm & Bowl Ratchayothin on Wednesday with a convincing performance before facing a stern test in the semi-finals.
They posted a combined total of 428 pins but were edged out by Singapore B, who recorded 432 pins.
The narrow defeat confirmed the bronze medal for Malaysia, still contributing to the national contingent’s overall medal tally at the biennial Games.
