India Badminton Live: India’s flag bearer PV Sindhu will open her medal run as the Indian badminton mixed team will take on neighbours Pakistan in their first group match of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games on Day 1. India are overwhelming favourite in the Group 1, that also comprises of other minnows Australia and Sri Lanka. With the format comprising two singles and three doubles, Sindhu, Sen and Srikanth are expected to get India two points but it will come down to doubles players, especially the world number 8 men’s pairing of Chirag and Satwik to deliver. While Chirag-Satwik pair is coming into the tournament after playing a pivotal role in India’s epic Thomas Cup win, the women’s and mixed pairings are new combinations and haven’t had a lot of game time. Gayatri Gopichand and Tressa Jolly qualified after coming on top in the selection trials in April. But the duo skipped most of the Asian leg events post the trials with Gayatri nursing an injury. When they returned at Malaysia Masters, the duo was sent packing in straight games by world number 11 Tan Pearly and Thinaah Muralitharan.

Women’s doubles tie, second game score: 11-3 This is absurd! Pak pair is meeting the same fate as they did in the first game as Gayatri and Treesa ran to an 8-point lead. The giant gap hides the enthralling 47-point rally at the beginning of the set, which also went into India’s favour. Sadly, Ghazala and Mahoor have been far from consistent in this tie and before.
