Defending champions China and top seeds Indonesia are one match away from a final clash at the Badminton World Federation World Junior Mixed Team Championships, after winning their quarter-finals in straight sets.

All four semi-finalists won their last eight matches 3-0 - China saw off Denmark while Indonesia eased past Hong Kong.

Indonesia will play Thailand, who beat France, while China face Japan, after they defeated South Korea.

China won their opening mixed doubles match against the Danes comfortably, Feng Yan Zhe and Lin Fang Ling beating Rasmus Espersen and Christine Busch 21-13, 21-13 in 31 minutes.

However, Liu Liang was made to work harder in the men's singles, taken to three sets by Magnus Johannesen before eventually triumphing 18-21, 21-17, 21-16 in just over an hour.
