Match summary

Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy claimed a decisive three-game victory over Aaron Tai and Kang Khai Xing, storming through the final two games with commanding 21-17 and 21-13 scorelines after dropping the opener 19-21. The turning point came in game three, where the Indian pair unleashed a devastating six-shot run from 10-9 to seize control at 16-9, fundamentally shifting the rhythm after a tighter second game that saw four lead changes. Despite both teams generating similar kill counts (six apiece), Tai and Kang's five unforced drive errors versus Shetty and Rankireddy's two revealed where precision failed under pressure in the final stages.
