11-5

Benyapa and Nuntakarn go into the second mid-game break with a massive 11-5 lead. A lot to ponder about for the Indians or else this would be over quickly.

India trails

The Thais continue from where they left off in the first game and race to a 5-1 lead in the second. Not looking good for India.

Thailand takes Game 1

A much, much better fight from the Indians post the interval, but it is still too easy for the Thai pair. They wrap up the first game 21-12 in just 11 minutes.

Ashna and Haritha look down and out and they would have to produce the best show of their career to force this into a decider, it seems.

Slipping away

The first game seems out of India's grasp as the Thai pair take a 16-9 lead with some very smart play.

11-4

Multiple errors from Haritha and Ashna as the Thai pair take an 11-4 lead at the mid-game break. The Indians do not look of any match to their opponents at the moment.

Early lead for Thai

The Thai pair showing why they are much better players than the unranked Indians as they take a 5-1 lead.
