Team China were dominant from the onset, jumping out to a 3-0 advantage over the SAR squad before entering the second end of play.

The SAR team of Jason Chang, Martin Yan, Cheng Ching-nam, Chung Cheuk-hei and Ma Chi-lap managed to put two points on the board through the fourth end, but the national team cruised to hold a comfortable 5-2 lead entering the fifth.

Team China went on to secure another five before eventually sealing a 10-3 victory.

Hong Kong earlier beat Kazakhstan in the playoffs to qualify for a spot in the final four.
