India Vs Korea LIVE Score, Badminton Asia Team Championships QF: Chirag-Hariharan Lose After Ayush Setback

In the absence of Satwiksairaj Rankiredddy, Chirag Shetty pairs up with Hariharan Amsakarunan and the duo goes down in straight games (11-21, 13-21) to Song Hyun Cho and Kim Won Ho. India thus lose the second match too and are down 0-2 in the quarter-finals rubber.

Heartbreak for the Indian youngster! He battles on till the very end, going through multiple deuces in the third game before losing it 24-26. He thus narrowly suffers defeat in his match and India trail Korea 0-1 in the rubber. Over to the men's doubles pairing of Chirag Shetty and Hariharan Amsakarunan now.

The third game is quite closely contested so far, as reflected by a scoreline of 13-13. Both players know the importance of drawing first blood for their respective teams, and this looks like going down to the wire.

Tae Bin Yoo shuts out Ayush, taking the second game comprehensively by a 21-14 margin. And so we head to a deciding third game in this opening match of the rubber.

Tae Bin Yoo has rebounded in the second game, surging to a 17-13 lead against Ayush Shetty. The 20-year-old Indian needs a string of points right now, else risk taking the match to a decider.

Ayush Shetty has bagged the first game against Tae Bin Yoo, 21-18. Exceptional start this for the Indian shuttler.

Ayush Shetty gets things going against Korea's Tae Bin Yoo in the men's singles match-up. The Indian shuttler sees himself 4-6 down in the first game but still lots of time left to get back in the game.

Earlier in the day, the women's contingent lost 0-3 to China as their title defence ended prematurely in the quarter-finals.
