The first game was a one sided affair as the World No 8 Indian pair dominated the court, making it difficult for their opponents to catch up.

However, the second game saw Yang and Lu come up and force Rankireddy and Shetty to make mistakes. Eventually, it was the experience of the India duo, which came in handy at crucial moments and led them to victory.

Satwik and Chirag had earlier beaten South Korea's Choi Sol Gyu and Kim Won Ho 21-18, 21-14 in the semifinals.
