The Star Sports Premier Badminton League lived up to its promise of giving its fans exhilarating game of badminton as the hosts Mumbai Rockets took on Awadhe Warriors. While Awadhe Warriors took the Men’s Doubles as their 'Trump Match'which meant that Cai Yun and Hendra Gunawan had a job at hand to beat Mathias Boe and Vladimir Ivanov.
As was expected Sai Praneeth in the first match of the Tie started the proceedings on a high and won the first game of the match against Gurusaidutt. But the latter came back strong to take the next two games, winning the match for Mumbai Rockets and leaving his opponent as well as the Warriors stunned.
The Men's doubles being the Trump Match for Awadhe Warriors, hence all the more necessary that they win the match. But unfortunately for the Warriors they lost the match to Mathias Boe and Vladimir Ivanov resulting in negative marking for the team.
With the Warriors hoping that G Vrushali will get them the much needed win but unfortunately for the team, Ruthvika Gadde for the Rockets came out strong as she won the Women’s Singles giving her team the third consecutive win of the day.
The second Trump match was between HS Prannoy and S Tanongsak where the Rockets were sure that Prannoy will get them the win as well as the bonus point.
