Welcome to The Bridge's LIVE blog from the semifinal of the Indonesia Open 2021
The Indonesia Open 2021 has reached its closing stages and India has PV Sindhu and Satwik-Chirag still in contention for a podium finish. While the former, despite boasting of an Olympic medal, has not made it to a final since the Swiss Open in March earlier this year, the latter has their World Tour Finals (WTF) slot hanging in balance.
A lot at stake for the Indian trio today. Can they come up with the goods?
Stay tuned for all the latest updates!

11-5
Intanon goes into the mid-game break with a massive 6 point lead. This is not looking good for Sindhu and India. Will a change of sides bring change in fortunes for the double Olympic medallist?

5-points in a row
That's five in a row for Intanon as she opens up an 8-4 lead. Troubles for Sindhu.

Sindhu challenges, again
A shot from the Indian called wide and she challenges. That was indeed wide and Sindhu loses a challenge. She trails 4-6 in the decider.

Intanon equalises
The Thai makes up for those errors quickly and equalises 2-2.

Good start for Sindhu
One shot long and one into the net from Intanon as Sindhu moves 2-0 ahead in the decider.

TAME SURRENDER
That was just below-par from Sindhu by the standards she has set. A tame 21-9 surrender in the second game and Intanon is back level in this contest.
On to the decider, we move.

Finally a point for Sindhu
After 6 straight points for the Thai, Sindhu finally bags one. A misjudgement on the backline from Intanon now. Sindhu trails 9-19.

9-point lead
Intanon has just strengthened her grip over this game. I don't think there is a comeback from here for Sindhu. 17-8.

Another misjudgement from Sindhu
That's two in a span of a minute from the Indian on the backline. She trails 15-8 now.

Sindhu challenges
Sindhu feels that shot from Intanon was long and immediately challenges. But, she is wrong. That has landed just in and the Indian loses a challenge.
