Although there was a disappointing final game, the Indian duo has shown quality badminton in this tournament and won a bronze medal in women's doubles.

The duo started well against the Chinese pair and won the first game, but then the world No. 1 Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning showed their class and outclassed the duo after the second mid-game break.
