End of Sudirman Cup for India!
That's all the action we had from Indian shuttlers at the 2021 Sudirman Cup. The first two days were certainly rough, but what a way to cap it off. Yes, the opponent was just Finland but it was surely refreshing to see the team win today.
As I sign off for the one last time from 2021 Sudirman Cup coverage, I leave you with two questions to debate about:
1) Should India have played Ashwini Ponnappa and MR Arjun in Mixed Doubles earlier?
2) Should India have preferred Tanisha Crasto and Rutaparna Panda as the Women's Doubles pair over Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy?
That's all from my side. Shubh Ratri.

INDIA WINS THE TIE 4-1
With that win for Rutaprana Panda and Tanisha Crasto, India has won the tie 4-1 and ensured that they do not end at the bottom of Group A table. That misery now belongs to hosts Finland.

India wins 21-12, 21-13
Tanisha Crasto and Rutaparna Panda convert the very first match point and India wins 21-12, 21-13.
This duo had won over the Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy in the trials and they have shown their quality here. Certainly a duo to watch out for in near future for India!

Very expressive!
This is some pair - Tanisha Crasto and Rutaparna Panda. Both of them have been so expressive. Not hiding back any emotions, letting their disappointments known too.

2-point lead
India opens up a 2-point lead - the biggest they have enjoyed in the second game. They lead 12-10.

India leads 11-10
India goes into the mid-game interval with an 11-10 lead. This game might go down the wire and we might well see a decider, it seems.

Tanisha challenges!
It was called out and Tanisha challenges once again. And Challenge lost once again. No more challenges for India in this game.
