Badminton News in Hindi - Sudirman Cup: Indian youngsters Tresa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand are slowly becoming a thorn in the side for their rivals. Yesterday, the duo scored the only points in India's 1-4 loss to Taiwan in the Group C tie of the Sudirman Cup at the Olympic Sports Center in Suzhou, China yesterday. The world number 17 pair beat Lee Chia-Sin-Teng Chun-Sun 21-15, 18-21, 13-21 in the last match of the tie which lasted 62 minutes. Before all his compatriots – H.S. Prannoy (men's singles), Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty (men's doubles), P.V. Sindhu (women's singles) and K. Sai Prateek-Tanisha Casto (mixed doubles) bowed out after losing a long drawn match. Sudirman Cup: Treesa-Gayathri's classy looks pose a big threat to Pearly Tan-Am. Malaysia are set to face off in their second group match today in the form of Thinah. Malaysia will need a win at any cost to keep alive their hopes of reaching at least the quarter-finals in the world mixed team event. Only the top two teams will advance to the quarterfinals. Treesa, 19, and Gayatri, 20, made life miserable for Pearly-Thinah in the group stage of the Asia Mixed Team Championships in February, and this match could be the key to decide who wins the water clash. . This is the only defeat of the Malaysian team in five matches. Thina, however, is not excited about the upcoming match. Sudirman Cup: Thina, who missed last month's Asian Championships due to her partner's illness, said it felt good to be back on the court with Pearly. Pearly-Thina was in the team that thrashed Australia 5-0 in another group match yesterday. We look forward to building our momentum here. We just have to improve. It is not certain who India and Malaysia will field in the men's singles today. Malaysia has Lee Zii Jia and Ng Tze Yong while India has H.S. I have two strong players. Pranay and K. Srikant. Both Prannoy and Srikkanth played a key role in India's defeat to Malaysia in the Thomas Cup final last year. On paper, Malaysia have a slight advantage but India, now with a more balanced side, have won two team events against them (Thomas Cup Final and Asia Team Championship) so the clash at 5 PM will be interesting.
