What a battle to start the match! PV Sindhu survives a fiercely contested opening game, edging past Busanan Ongbamrungphan 25-23 after a tense exchange of rallies. Neither player was able to establish a significant lead, with the score remaining neck-and-neck throughout.

PV Sindhu wraps up the contest in style, claiming the second game 21-16 to seal a straight-games victory. After the closely fought opener, the Indian star looked far more settled and controlled the pace of play with her attacking strokes and precise placement.
