In a closely contested final, Hong Kong's women's squash team narrowly missed out on gold at the Asian Games in Japan, falling 2-1 to reigning champions Malaysia. The rematch of the 2019 final saw Malaysia triumph 3-2 in a match that lasted just 51 minutes. Ho Tze-lok's loss in the opening match to Malaysia's Aifa Azman proved costly, as Simmi Chan secured a comeback victory against Sivasangari Subramaniam in the second set.
However, it was Malaysia's Aira Azman who proved too strong for Lee Ka-yi in the deciding match, claiming a 3-0 win to secure the top podium position for the Malaysian team. Hong Kong last won the women's team event at the Asian Games in 2018. Overall, the Hong Kong squash team concluded their Asian Games campaign with a gold, two silvers, and two bronze medals.
