What a shot!
A terrific body smash from Ponnappa, and the opponent had to move away from the line there. POWERFUL!
A sense of calmness on the court
There seems to be a different level of calmness in the court for India. This certainly was not the case in the first three matches. Ashwini-Sikki leads 16-12.
Brilliant coordination between the Indians
The lead for India has been reduced to 3 points at 14-11, but this is some brilliant synergy on display by Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy. They are out on a mission!
Sikki Reddy slaying those drop shots
Sikki Reddy has nailed quite a few drop shots today. She is looking in some great touch as India leads the opening game 13-7.
5 point LEAD for India
India goes into the mid-game break with a massive 5-point lead at 11-6. Just the start the team was hoping for Ashwini and Sikki in a must-win encounter. Can they carry forward this momentum?
9-5 lead for India
Some very smart display of badminton from Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy as India take a 9-5 lead.
Early lead for India
