Malaysia's challenge at the Indonesia Masters ended on Saturday after men's doubles pairs Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi crashed out in the semi-finals.

Chia-Soh came into their encounter against Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi having beaten reigning Olympics champions Lee Yang-Eang Chi-lin.

But the world number seven pair fell to a 18-21, 21-19, 17-21 loss in a 63-minute affair.

Chia-Soh had lost to the unseeded pair at the Sudirman and Thomas Cup, and were hoping to avenge that losses, but found their opponents more composed especially during the crucial rallies.

Ong-Teo also put up a valiant display against top seeds Indonesians Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo-Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, but lost 21-18, 17-21, 11-21 after 58 minutes.
