KUALA LUMPUR: Natasha Roslan may have fallen short of retaining her IBF World Cup women's singles crown, but reaching a second consecutive final has given the Malaysian bowler plenty of positives to take into the team competition in Munich, Germany.
Natasha Roslan reached her second consecutive World Cup final, but fell short of retaining her IBF World Cup women's singles title. The 2025 champion, who previously won gold in Hong Kong, finished as silver medalist after losing 2-1 to France's Manon Clement in the final.

Natasha expressed pride in her performance, acknowledging she would have loved to win again. She credited her consistent international play, noting it would help her improve further. Natasha's silver medal further highlighted her performance on the global stage, coming three years after becoming Malaysia's first women's singles world champion in 2023.
The team competition in Munich, Germany, will see Natasha alongside Li Jane, Adelia, and Nur Hazirah, as they aim to improve upon Malaysia's silver medal performance from the previous year's World Cup.
