Malaysia Sweep Both Squash Team Golds, Beat Hong Kong and Pakistan

Malaysia completed a squash team double at the Asian Games in Nagoya, winning both the men's and women's team golds on the same day.

In the women's final, Malaysia beat Hong Kong to the title. The men's team followed suit shortly after, with Malaysia beating Pakistan in the final to complete the sweep.

The results cap a strong campaign for Malaysian squash at these Games, building on the individual medals already won earlier in the competition, including Malaysia's success in the women's singles draw. Squash has traditionally been one of Malaysia's strongest disciplines at the Asian Games, and the team double continues that pedigree, with both finals played out at the purpose-built squash courts in the Aichi-Nagoya venue cluster.

Hong Kong and Pakistan, both squash powerhouses in their own right, will have been disappointed to finish as runners-up in their respective finals, but both performances continue a trend of the sport's traditional top nations filling out the podium at these Games. With the team events now decided, squash's programme at these Games draws toward a close, having already produced a full slate of individual and team medals across the week in Nagoya.
