PV SINDHU up next
YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT!
PV SINDHU will take to the court next for India in women's singles. She will play Neslihan Yigit of Turkey in the very court Kapila-MR won right now.
Sindhu is the overwhelming favourite to clinch this one, so do not be surprised if the match is over by the time you blink once.
India WINS 21-19, 21-15
They wrapped this up quickly did Dhruv Kapila and Arjun MR. The first game was close, the second was too until a few minutes ago.
The Indians, out of nowhere, managed to come up with six straight points. They went from 13-13 to a 19-13 lead effectively killing off the match. There was no comeback from there for Ben Lane and Sean Vendy, who have been shown the exit door from the Demark Open 2021.
5 MATCH POINTS
Lane-Vendy pocket two points, but the Indians hit back to lead 20-15. 5 Match points for Kapila and MR.
19-13
The lead is now 6. This is exceptional display of badminton under pressure by Dhruv and Arjun.
4-point lead
WOW, India is now racing away with this. 4 straight points and they are 17-13 up. Can Lane-Vendy make a comeback from here?
