With its second impressive result, the Indian team, which defeated Germany 5-0 on Sunday, is certain to finish in the Top-2 in Group C and thus qualify for the knock-out round. World Championships silver medallist Kidambi Srikanth beat Brian Yang 20-22 21-11 21-15.

The doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty then beat Jason Anthony Ho-Shue and Kevin Lee before World No.23 HS Prannoy won his singles match against B R Sankeerth 21-15, 21-12 to make it 3-0 and clinch the tie for India.
