Indonesian women's doubles pair Salsabila Zahra Aulia/Adelia Nirul M advanced to the semifinals of the 2025 BNI Indonesia International Challenge badminton tournament.
In the quarter-final match at the Amongrogo Sports Hall, Yogyakarta, Friday, Salsabila/Adelia defeated the Vietnamese pair Thie Dieu Ly Pham/Pham Thi Khanh with 14-21, 21-18, and 21-12.
"In the second game, the coach instructed us not to get carried away by our opponent's play and to force ourselves to adapt to our playing style, and we succeeded," Salsabila said in a PBSI statement on Friday.
Adelia admitted that she had difficulty facing the fourth seed in this tournament, especially when breaking down her defense.
