Lakshya targets his first win against Ng Ka Long

This is the fourth meeting between Lakshya Sen and Ng Ka Long Angus, where the former is trailing by a 0-3 head-to-head record.

However, this will be their first meeting in 3 years since the 2023 Malaysia Masters, where Long won the match in straight-games, 21-14, 21-19.

Lakshya will be high in confidence after knocking out the defending champion in the first round and will now aim for a deep run in the tournament.
