11-5
Well, that went south really quickly for Simran-Shruti. From leading 4-2, they trail by a massive margin of 5-11 at the first mid-game break. Think we are in for a quick wrap up after the 42-minute long battle between Sindhu and An Se Young.

A good start for Simran-Shruti as multiple errors from the Korean pair gives them a 4-2 lead.
