World No 1 Sze Fei-Izzuddin crash out after late collapse in Jakarta
Indonesia's world No. 8 Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani were trailing 19-17 in the deciding game, but mounted a strong comeback to stun the top-ranked Malaysians 21-19, 9-21, 21-19 in Jakarta.
Victory would have set up an all-Malaysian semi-final against world No. 7 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun, who had earlier ousted India's world No. 22 Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty 21-19, 21-16.
Wei Chong-Kai Wun will now face Sabar-Moh Reza on Saturday, hoping to repeat their feat of reaching last year's final.
