Bilbao (Spain): The Indian colts fought hard before going down 2-3 to Thailand in the final stage of the BWF World Junior mixed team championship here on Saturday. India will now play Indonesia for 5th-8th place.
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy won both the mixed doubles and boy's doubles matches, pairing with Mahima Aggarwal and Krishna Prasad Garaga, but India lost the two singles and the girl's doubles match last night.
Satwiksairaj and Mahima defeated Pakin Kuna-Anuvit and Kwanchanok Sudjaipraparat 21-15, 21-16 to give India a 1-0 lead. But, India squandered the advantage when Lakshya Sen lost 17-21, 20-22 to Kantaphon Wangcharoen.
