Up Next: Lakshya Sen vs Kento Momota
Lakshya Sen, Indian badminton's big hope, is now set to take on the legendary Kento Momota, the top seed here. Lakshya lost to Kento Momota at the Indonesia Masters just this month. He has a chance to improve his account today.

Kashyap loses the plot
Loh Kean Yew hits back immediately with 6 points in a row and Kashyap has no answers. The Indian trails 18-14, and this seems over for him.

Kashyap takes the lead!!
Parupalli Kashyap is tightening the screws now. 5 points in a row and he has a two-point lead at 14-12.

3 straight points for Parupalli Kashyap and he is trying to hang on. Scores once again levelled at 12-12.

11-9
Loh Kean Yew once again breaks open a lead right before the mid-game break. The lead is just 2 points, but can Kashyap bounceback?

This is tight!
Parupalli Kashyap now hits back with 3-points in a row to level things at 8-8. Much, much better from the Indian compared to the first game.

Not for long
Loh Kean Yew pockets four points in a row and takes a 6-5 lead. Kashyap is now losing whatever little momentum he had built.

Kashyap leads
The second game is underway and Parupalli Kashyap has an early 2-0 lead. How long can he maintain this?

Cakewalk!
That was a cakewalk for Loh Kean Yew. He wraps up the first game 21-11 in just 13 minutes.
Parupalli Kashyap, on the other hand, continues to struggle. He has been nowhere near his best for long and I do not see him pushing the Singaporean towards a decider here.
