CCTV-5 and Yangshipin are currently live streaming the mixed team table tennis World Cup final between China and Japan.

The detailed matchup situation is shown in the image below. The format consists of five matches, each with three games, first to 8 wins out of 15 games. The first match has ended with Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin achieving a swift 3-0 victory. In the second match, Wang Manyu is leading 1-0 against Hina Hayata.

This match will surely end with China winning the championship because their strength does not allow Japan to win. Of course, Japan’s lineup is very strong, with all top players competing. However, our team is stronger. We look forward to Lin Shidong winning against Tomokazu Harimoto in the third match, and have no doubt about victories in the fourth and fifth matches. The fifth match might not even be necessary. Personally, I predict China will win 8-3 or 8-4 over Japan, successfully defending the title. What do you all think?
