Denmark had to do without women's world number one Tine Rasmussen, who missed the tournament with injury, and men's world number two Peter Gade, who was absent from the tie after a migraine that saw him sent to hospital.

Chief coach Finn Traerup-Hansen acknowledged he had had little luck.

"I have to be honest and I say it's not been our tournament at all," he said.

"We haven't had Tine and Peter of course, but at least one positive is that it gave some practice to the next generation."

India created history by breaking into the Group 2 for the first time after they trounced Bulgaria 3-0 in the promotion playoff.

Australia will be relegated to bottom Group 4 at the next Sudirman Cup after losing 3-1 to Sweden in a Group 3 playoff while Sweden retains its berth in Group 3 at the world mixed team championship in 2011.
