Career

They were runners-up at the World Championships in 1980, and Verawaty was runner-up at the 1982 All England with another fellow countrywoman Ruth Damayanti.
Following a hiatus in her international badminton career from 1983 to 1985, Verawaty enjoyed impressive success in her late twenties and early thirties.
Her greatest success late in her career, however, came in mixed doubles, which she had rarely played earlier. They also reached the final round of the 1989 IBF World Championships in Jakarta, but could not overcome South of Korea"s Chung Myung-hee and the formidable Park Joo-bong.
Verawaty led Indonesian Uber Cup (women"s international) teams that finished second to Japan in 1978 and 1981, and to China in 1986.
