Comfortable lead for Hoo-Cheah
The Malaysians have a comfortable 16-12 lead. This should be enough for them to close off the first game. Not a good sign for India.

11-9
The Malaysian pair somehow manages to open up a 2-point lead and goes into the mid-game interval with a slender 11-9 lead.
Kapila and Sikki have done well so far but need to ensure that they do not let Hoo and Cheah run away with this.

Close start
This is a very close start with nothing to separate the two pairs. 6-6 for now.

Hoo-Cheah have taken an early 3-1 lead. The Indian still seem to be finding their rhythm.

Welcome back!
After a two hour break, we are all set to begin with India's final match of the day. Dhruv Kapila and Sikki Reddy will pair up against the Malaysian duo on court number 3.
The day, so far, has been great for India at the Odense Stadion. Can Kapila and Reddy end it on a high?

PV Sindhu wins 21-12, 21-10
That was quick. Exactly 30 mins, and Sindhu has advanced to Round of 16 with a 21-12, 21-10 win over Turkey's Neslihan Yigit. Could not have asked for a better return to action from the star shuttler!
