Indonesia declared Sunday it will be a force to be reckoned in water polo at the 27th SEA Games with a 16‐2 win over Malaysia in the day’s first match.
Fresh from a 30-1 drubbing of Myanmar yesterday, Indonesia look likely to give two-time defending champions Singapore a run for the gold.
In the second game Thailand matched Singapore almost gold for goal through three quarters, Singapore holding a single point advantage going into the final frame, but two goals by the defending champions saw Singapore out winners 8-5 at the Zayarthiri Swimming pool.
In men's Chinlone, Myanmar and Thailand booked places in the gold medal match with score of 183 and 137 in the morning non-repetition preliminaries.
Laos on 127 and Cambodia with 81 secured the bronze medals at Wunna Theikdi Indoor Stadium (B).
In women's non-repetition, Myanmar (148) will meet Thailand (109) in the gold-medal match. Laos, on 109, took one bronze, Cambodia (49) won the second one.
