Ace Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth defeated Sri Lanka's Dumindu Abeywickrama 21-9, 21-12 on August 5 to advance to the quarterfinals of the men's singles event at the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

World No. 13 Srikanth will now take on the 54th-ranked Toby Penty in the men's singles quarterfinal match on August 6.
