Fifth seeded Saina took just 50 minutes to dispose of her opponent 22-20, 21-18. She will now face China’s Xuerui Li in the title match today. Xuerui beat compatriot and top seed Yihan Wang in the other semi-final match.


Earlier, Kashyap lacked the consistency he possessed in the earlier matches and went down 15-21, 12-21 to the World No 9. The 26th-ranked Indian would be happy with his maiden last four finish in a Super Series Premier event where he stunned top seed Chen Long and beat another higher-ranked player, Hans-Kristian Vittinghus of Denmark.u00a0
