4th match pt for Eriko at 21-20 and Eriko Hirose won the first pt for Team Japan 9-21, 22-20, 22-20. What a match....
Eriko finally finishes it off 22-20. What a shame for Maria after pulling back from 17-20 and letting it slip away. 79 mins of pulsating action for the Senayan crowd. INA now has it's work cut out form them.
Vita & Butet are now in a do-or-die situation. Lose and I can't see any way back for INA. The JPN pair are going to be tough.
Not looking good for Vita/Butet as the Japanese pair races to a 11-5 lead, winning 5 straight pts at 6-5.
WCH edges Rajiv 22-20. Not impressive at all from the MAS captain. Miyuki/Satoko are really punishing Vita/Butet 11-6
6 smash winners from JPN vs 4 from INA 6 unforced errors from INA vs 0 from JPN. 4 clear winners from JPN vs 1 from INA. That basically sums it up. The Japanese pair will wrap the first set up.
INa deserves to lost the UC matches, the concequences of threatening to pull out their squad if BWF did not reshuffle the original schedule for INA UC team.
