Day Five – Quarter-Finals night
A dramatic quarter-finals night at the Madinaty Sports Club in Cairo started with a comfortable win for hosts Egypt over Scotland, and a three-nil win for Malaysia over Hong Kong in the battle of the 5/6 seeds.
In the second set of quarter-finals second seeds USA beat Canada, but only after Amanda Sobhy was taken to extra points in the fifth by Hollie Naughton. Then England staged a comeback from one down to deny fourth seeds France.
