Did you know?

Satwik-Chirag have only met the British duo of Ben Lane and Sean Vendy once in their career so far. 

On that occasion, the British had the last word. Time for a change, today?

This is the FINAL Group Stage clash for Satwik-Chirag

It's extremely important for the World No. 10 Indian pair to succeed today so that they can earn a ticket to the quarter-finals by staying in the top half of the Group A!
