But gold No 3 won’t come so easily, not when they will be up against defending champions India in the mixed team final.

In today’s semifinals, the national team had no problems disposing of hosts England 3-0 while India too cruised to an identical 3-0 win over Singapore.

Day Four also saw the national contingent pocket two more medals — a silver and a bronze.

The national women’s table tennis team contributed the silver medal after losing to Singapore in the final while the bronze came courtesy of lawn bowls veteran Siti Zalina Ahmad in women’s singles.

The national weightlifters, who performed superbly to deliver two gold medals on Saturday and a silver medal on Sunday, could not keep the momentum going today when Nasir Roslan could only finish seventh in the 81kg category.

Day Five is also set to see the start of the athletics programme at the Alexander Stadium here and Malaysia will have discus thrower Irfan Shamsuddin in action in the qualifying round.

At the end of Day Four today, Malaysia has won two golds, two silvers and two bronze.

Australia continue to lead the medal tally with a haul of 31 golds, 20 silvers and 20 bronze, followed by England (21-22-11) and New Zealand (13-7-4).
