Teenager Ester Nurumi fought hard for Indonesia before He Bing Jiao recovered to win 10-21, 21-15, 21-17.

“Last time it was a shame that we couldn't win the Uber Cup, so over the last two years we were always ready, and we were playing at home,” said He.

Later on Sunday, both nations will meet in the Thomas Cup final. It is the first time since 2012 that the same countries will be playing in both the men's and women's finals.
