Match Prediction: 

Barring her game against Tai Tzu-Ying in the semi-finals, Sindhu has actually looked good so far at the Tokyo Olympics. In fact, even during the game against Tzu-Ying, she did perform in patches. Her signature smash was not seen much during the semi-finals game, but in the quarterfinal game, Sindhu was exceptional. She displayed better netplay and also optimised the advantage of having a good height. So, we think that Sindhu will win the game in two sets.

Match Details: 

The match will be played at 5.00 pm and will be broadcast on Doordarshan, Sony Ten 2, Sony Ten 2 HD, Sony Ten 3, Sony Ten 3 HD, Sony Six, Sony Six HD. You can also catch up with the proceedings of the game on SonyLiv.
