Badminton Asia C'ships: Satwik/Chirag reach final- Highlights

Thank you for joining in!

A tasty match-up awaits!

Satwik/Chirag will face Malaysia's Ong Yew Sin and Teo Ee Yi in the final.

Satwik/Chirag reach the final!

This surely isn't the way the Indian duo would have wanted to reach the finals, but the Chinese Taipei duo were forced to pull out of the match due to Wang Chi-Lin's injury.

Final score:

India 1-0 Chinese Taipei (21-18, 13-14)

Wang Chi-Lin in great pain!

Looks like the Taipei player pulled his groin or thigh muscle while stretching for a shot.

Back on track for the Indians

After the Taipei duo created a two-point lead once again, Satwik/Chirag slowly but steadily came back to level the scores.

India 10-10 Chinese Taipei

A good lead for the Taipei shuttlers

Yang and Chi-Lin have amassed a good lead in the second game, but Sat-Chi clawing their way back.

India 3-5 Chinese Taipei

Looks like Chirag Shetty is injured

Shetty's right ankle seems to be sprained but it should be alright for the Indian.

First game to Satwik/Chirag!

Shetty rises and delivers a smash as his opponent could only guide the shuttle to the net. Valiant effort from the Taipei pair, but the two-point lead at 19-17 did it for the Indians.

India 21-18 Chinese Taipei (1-0)

Only smashes from Sat-Chi

The Indians are using their raw power on their advantage, trying to push the Taipei shuttlers to lift the shuttle up and over to open up a chance for a blistering smash.

India 15-14 Chinese Taipei

The Chinese Taipei pair lead at the break

A very narrow lea for Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin as the Indians would look to come back as soon as possible.

India 10-11 Chinese Taipei
