Lakshya vs Loh going on. first game going neck to neck till interval then Lakshya switches gear and wins first game. For me, Lakshya vs Loh will be the final in individual event later.
Yeahh, if he played. Semis would have been a blockbuster. Lee, Lakshya, Loh, Srikanth if any other player didn’t create an upset. After a long time, there would have been an actual competition. Earlier it was only Lee at the top and then there were Kashyap, Rajiv and Derek Wong.
It’s India vs Malaysia in team final Lee Zi Jia skipped cwg so I think lakshya or Kidambi should win MS. India should win MS, WS. MD will be 50-50. According to h2h Malaysian MD is stronger WD- Good for nothing. As we have Ashwini and Sikki. Still let’s see. I see a loss here XD- most probably a loss but Ashwini Satwik can spring a surprise. They are not the same pair they used to be in 2018. Satwik has regressed, so has Ashwini. Plus, they don’t play as a pair anymore but in this games, they are coming back as a pair. Let’s see
Indeed. Malaysia and India both shows their superiority to other in the previous matches, with Malaysia made a clean sweep of all events while india only lost once (wd event against Australia) The final is quite special in which india is the favourite for MS and WS, while Malaysia is favourite for WD and XD events. The MD event is probably the decider. Very interesting game. Finally a better matched game to look at
No sikki reddy. India has to bank only on pullela and Treesha for WD. Aswini has to play XD. No other go. So, MD has to be deciding factor
Ya, I don't think Sikki Reddy is playing. It is going to be Trisha Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand. Ashwini will be in XD. Also, while I am happy with Lakshya's win, I thought the win in Indian Open final over LKY was better.
Ng tse yong won against SK, bring the game to 2-1in favour of the Malaysian. Now india have an uphill battle to play
My thought is Sen to play... but... oh oh.. As usual like wc final, srikanth smash himself out. Big india blunder.
A deserving win for Ng Tze Yong. Always respect for those players who punch above their weight. The pressure, the stage, the expectations could have easily swayed him away. But he delivered. If Malaysia wins this tie (which I’m most probably sure they’ll do by winning WD), I’ll say Ng Tze is the hero. Lee Zi Jia might have been the one getting the win but it’s Ng Tze
Yesterday I predicted India MS will win. I was sure Lakshya would play. I gave lakshya 80-85 percent chances of winning. For Kidambi, I was 70 percent sure. But credit to Ng Tze for spoiling the party
Big big screw up from india and srikanth. Over confident perhaps. If saina plays wd, maybe better chances. Lolx Just like indonesia thomas cup. Lol
They should get chris adcock to commentate with Gill Clark in future badminton tournament, very insightful analysis from them both
