Wonderful judgement!
A bit of confusion between the Indians, but they decide to let the shuttle pass. It has landed long and they have equalised at 8-8.
Points being exchanged
Nothing to separate the pairs in the second game. All square at 7-7.
The communication is standing out here
The Indians trail 6-5, but the communication between Tanisha and Rutaparna is standing out here. Some very loud calls to avoid confusion during the rally.
It is close
Unlike the first game where the Indians raced to an early lead, this has been close. In fact, it is tied at 5-5.
Wonderful interception!
A wonderful interception from Tanisha, hands India their first point of the game. They trail 1-3.
Finland leads!
2-0 lead for Lindholm and Jenny in the second game. Tanisha handing both the points to the Finnish pair.
Tanisha challenges!
It's called out, Tanisha challenges and loses a review. She was so sure about it, Tanisha.
India takes first game 21-12
The Finnish pair manage to save one game point, but India takes the first game 21-12 without breaking a sweat. Yes, the Finnish pair did look much better post the mid-game interval, but they still have a lot of catching up to do against the energetic Indians.
9 Game points
India leads 20-11, and they have 9 game points. This should be easy.
Great communication!
There is some great communication happening between Tanisha and Rutaparna in the middle of the rallies. A good indication that they are in sync.
