Hong Kong captured the silver medal in the women's team squash event at the 19th Asian Games on Saturday.

The team, who won gold at the previous games, lost 1-2 to Malaysia.

Tong Tsz-wing gave the territory a head start after beating Rachel Arnold 3-2 in match one.

Ho Tsz-lok, who was part of the winning team in Jakarta in 2018, unfortunately couldn't beat Subramaniam Sivasangari in the second match, losing 0-3 to put the SAR and Malaysia at an overall tie.

Chan Sin-yuk and Aifa Binti Azman then went head to head in the crucial last round, with Malaysia coming out on top 1-3.

Fourth member Lee Ka-yi did not participate in the final, but contributed to their win against India in the semi-final match.

After the competition, Ho told HOY TV that the team will keep improving on their game.

"I didn't play to my usual standards. I felt the pressure even more when I was losing 0-2. The four of us, we all tried our best. We hope to come back stronger at the next Games," she said.
