Comfortable lead for Hoo-Cheah
The Malaysians have a comfortable 16-12 lead. This should be enough for them to close off the first game. Not a good sign for India.
11-9
The Malaysian pair somehow manages to open up a 2-point lead and goes into the mid-game interval with a slender 11-9 lead.
Kapila and Sikki have done well so far but need to ensure that they do not let Hoo and Cheah run away with this.
Close start
This is a very close start with nothing to separate the two pairs. 6-6 for now.
Early lead for the Malaysian pair
Hoo-Cheah have taken an early 3-1 lead. The Indian still seem to be finding their rhythm.
The players are on court
Both the pairs have arrived on court. The match will begin in next few minutes.
