New Delhi, April 30 (IANS) After already being qualified for the quarterfinals, the young Indian women’s team lost 0-5 to host China in their last group stage encounter on Tuesday and finished second in Group A.
In the opening singles, Isharani Baruah took on Olympic champion Chen Yufei and even opened up a 6-4 lead in the first game before the Chinese took control of the match and won 21-12, 21-10.
“This was the first time I was playing such a top player. The speed of the match was quite high but I am not happy with the number of mistakes I made. Whenever I could play long rallies, I had a chance of winning points,” said Isharani after the match.
National champions Priya Konjengbam and Shruti Mishra then went down 13-21, 12-21 against the world no. 1 combination of Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Fan before Anmol Kharb had to retire hurt in the second game against Han Yue in the second singles.
