India Beats Türkiye 110-99 to Reach BWF Quarterfinals

New Delhi, Oct 2:* India successfully quelled a tough challenge from Türkiye in their last Group E clash 110-99 to top the group and secure their quarterfinal berth in the BWF World Junior Mixed Team Championships in Nanchang, China on Wednesday. 

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has introduced the relay scoring system in the World Junior Mixed Team Championships. In this system, the winning team has to reach 110 points in 10 matches to clinch the tie. 

India, which had comfortably beaten Peru, Azerbaijan, and Mauritius in their earlier group games, started indifferently. Tushar Suveer conceded the advantage against Mehmet Can Toremis and lost the first singles 7-11. 

N Srinidhi and U Reshika then stepped up to put India ahead 22-18, and the team maintained that advantage throughout the tie despite Toremis putting pressure on them in singles and doubles as well. 

But India’s girls’ singles and doubles players took significant leads in their matches to negate Toremis’s impact.  

India will now face Indonesia in the quarterfinals.
