Up Next: Aakarshi Kashyap v/s Kim Gaeun
Aakarshi Kashyap will take on Kim Gaeun next in what is a must-win women's singles clash for India. Can the 20-year-old keep India afloat in this contest?
Simran-Shruti LOSE!
That's it. Simran Singhi and Shruti Mishra go down 21-13, 21-12 in straight games to Lee So Hee and Shin Seungchan.
India trail 0-2 in the tie.
Comfortable lead for Lee-Shin
The South Korean pair leads 16-8 in the second game and this is just a matter of time now.
11-7
This is not looking good for India as Simran-Shruti trail 7-11 in the second game. A South Korea win looks inevitable currently.
Simran-Shruti on backfoot
Simran Singhi and Shruti Mishra on the backfoot right away in the second game. They trail 3-6.
Simran-Shruti surrender Game 1
A decent fightback from Simran and Shruti post the mid-game break, but the Korean pair takes it comfortably at 21-13 in the end. Can the young Indian duo put up a better fight in the second game?
11-5
Well, that went south really quickly for Simran-Shruti. From leading 4-2, they trail by a massive margin of 5-11 at the first mid-game break. Think we are in for a quick wrap up after the 42-minute long battle between Sindhu and An Se Young.
Good start for Simran-Shruti
A good start for Simran-Shruti as multiple errors from the Korean pair gives them a 4-2 lead.
