Such stupid umpiring at 14-13 in the Tunjung VS Albo match. Albo was clearly not ready. Tunjung served and then, seeing that her opponent wasn't ready, held shuttle by hand. Umpire called a fault on Tunjung. Awful sportsmanship from Albo as well, for not supporting Tunjung's protest.

Am I seeing things? Japan's second-bests getting destroyed by Thailand. Disappointed by the consistent flop performances of HokiKoba.
Shocking result, 4-0 so far and Thailand tops group D, unfortunately can't watch the match as live streaming is very limited for BAC event. Meanwhile strong fave INA as expected secures group winner but far from convincing style particularly in singles category, Anthony Ginting was stretched into three games by Heo Kwang Hee then Jonatan Christie couldn't overcome the comeback man from injury Son Wan Ho.
Apparently today's match was suspended for forty minutes due to a problem with lighting; ... this probably didn't help matters.
Women's team Group Stage conclusion : Group W Japan (winner) Malaysia (runner-up) Group X Korea (W) Kazakshtan (RU) Group Y Thailand (W) Indonesia (RU) Group Z Chinese Taipei (W) Singapore (RU) TPE is the weakest team among all group winners, fresh draw for knock-out stage will be conducted soon.
Defending champion Japan only "wins" narrowly over Malaysia, 3-2. Sonia Cheah and Kisona Selvaduray stun higher-ranked opponent Akane Yamaguchi, Aya Ohori respectively. Meanwhile same scoreline also displayed by Thailand team, second and third singles pose fragile point for Indonesia as they rest Greysia Polii and fielded scratch pair Istarani/Rahayu. MEN'S TEAM Group B - IND v MAS The opening tie between Praneeth and Lee ZJ will determine their respective team fate in group stage, two doubles matches will go to Malaysia while India is favoured to snatch second and third singles victory.
