The 30-year-old won the second game with a scoreline of 21-16. The third game was no different from the first two as there wasn’t much separating both shuttlers in the early stages. But Pranoy slowly took a 11-8 lead before securing the game and thereby the match at 21-17. Meanwhile the men’s doubles pairing of Dhruv Kapila and MR Arjun continues their impressive run to make the last eight of the prestigious tournament. Veteran Saina Nehwal crashed out at the pre-quarter final stage courtesy of losing 17-21, 21-16, 13-21 to Thai opponent Busanan Ongbamrungphan.
The 2022 BWF world Championship will commence on August 22 and end on August 28.
