Lily Zhang surely deserved the victory for being calm and composed throughout the game.

Match 2, Game 2: Poyamantee Baisya 3-5 Lily Zhang

TIME-OUT! A few seconds earlier, the scores were tied at 3-3, but Poyamantee Baisya played two shots into the net and conceded a couple of points to Lily Zhang. The Indian paddler wouldn't be too pleased with her shots thus far in the game.

Match 2, Game 1: Poyamantee Baisya 11-9 Lily Zhang [Match Score: Poyamantee 1-0 Lily]

Two more points for Lily Zhang before Poyamantee Baisya secures the final point to win the first game of Match 2. Chennai Lions will surely be pleased with the start provided by Poyamantee after a loss in the first match.

Match 2, Game 1: Poyamantee Baisya 10-7 Lily Zhang

GAME POINT for Poyamantee Baisya! The Indian paddler quickly sends the ball back to Lily, who fails to react on time and misses the shot.

Match 2, Game 1: Poyamantee Baisya 8-6 Lily Zhang

Match 2, Game 1: Poyamantee Baisya 3-5 Lily Zhang

TIME-OUT! Lily Zhang from Bengaluru Smashers takes a two-point lead at time-out. She's been too good so far and Poyamantee looks a bit inexperienced compared to the American paddler.

Match 2: Poymantee Baisya vs Lily Zhang

The former Singles National Champion Poymantee Baisya will be taking on USA's Lily Zhang, who's just returned from Paris after playing her third Olympic Games. Lily certainly the favourite to win this one!

Match 1, Game 3: Jules Rolland 6-11 Alvaro Robles [Match Score: Jules 1-2 Alvaro]

Clever play from Jules Rolland as he forces Alvaro to make a mistake. He wins the second game and the match score is levelled at 1-1. A crucial game between the two paddlers coming up!

Match 1, Game 2: Jules Rolland 9-8 Alvaro Robles
