Hot favourites China comfortably retained their Sudirman Cup world team badminton title on Sunday by beating Asian rivals Indonesia 3-0.

It was a repeat of the scoreline in 2005 when the biennial event was last contested and the sixth triumph for the Chinese in the 10 editions of the event since 1989.

China's mixed doubles pair of Zheng Bo and Gao Ling battled past Limpele Flandy and Vita Marissa 19-21 21-17 21-19 and the men's duo of Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng made it 2-0 when they beat Kido Markis and Candra Wijaya 21-11 21-13.

Olympic women's singles champion Zhang Ning sealed the title with a 21-16 21-9 success over world-ranked 44 Adriyanti Firdasari.

The 3-0 scoreline meant there was no need to play the women's doubles and the concluding men's singles, which would have featured a contest between world champion Lin and Hidayat.

In the running order for the final made on Saturday night a draw unhappily put the clash between Lin and Hidayat out last.

With China widely expected to win 3-0, making the last two matches redundant, officials tried hard on Sunday morning to amend the situation.
