victory in tough competition

India’s score line may have been 2-0 but this match was not easy for the Indian team. India defeated Malaysia’s Aifa binti Ajman and Mohd Syafik bin Mohd Kamal by 11-10, 11-10. In the match that lasted 35 minutes, Deepik and Harinder never gave up and did not let their opposing team win the match despite all their efforts.

At one time the Indian team was one step away from an easy victory. But then India lost the points easily. In the second game, this team seemed to be losing its concentration. The Malaysian team took seven consecutive points to reduce the score from 3-9 to 10-9. It seemed that India would lose the game but Deepika and Harinder controlled themselves and won the match.
