This will be the third meeting between the two pairs, with one win each in their last two match-ups.
Last time the two pairs met each other was at the 2025 World Championships, where Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto got the better of world no.7 Hong Kong duo.
Lakshya Sen enters the quarterfinal of the All England Championships for the third consecutive year with a tight three-game win over Ng Ka Long Angus of Hong Kong.
Lakshya had a good start to the game, winning the first game despite a late trouble from Angus and had a massive 7-point lead in the second game.
However, he could not find the finishing touch and let Angus come back in the match and force a decider.
In the decider, the 31-year-old looked exhausted and couldn't trouble Sen much, losing the match against the young Indian for the first time in their fourth meeting.
