    Denmark know they have to take this MD2 - let's hope HK take it and set up a thriller 5th match!

    Adidas seems like really getting quite a big impact to badminton scene. Quite a number of player using Adidas rackets and bags if you notice.

    Such a waste for HKG!

    But Wong Wing Ki, in his delightful hairstyle, may be able to win a consolation point against Emil Holst.

    Woah, what a great match. I think even HK didn't expect it to go to the final match!

    Love Wong's hairstyle - better than some of the tattoos going around.

    1 game all between Wong and Holst. Deciding game for the tie.

    Now the much talked about TC match between host IND and MAS, one of only 3 countries which won the TC so far.

    Will the young Indian side be able create an upset? Not for LCW who is determined to win the first MS tie against Srikanth.

    I thought LCW will be using the ZF2-LCW edition(purple). Haha surprising his is still the normal ZF2 I presume?

    LCW taking an early lead of 9-4.

    LCW seems better prepared for Srikanth's most powerful weapon, his smash, and if he continues in this steady mode, he should prevail. Now leading 11-4 at interval.

    LCW even wins at the net and reciprocates Srikanth's venom smashes with his own.

    LCW's challenge on Srikanth's flick service was successful as it went out by a whisker.

    LCW still leading 19-14.

    SK made a massive attempt and narrowed LCW' lead to just 19-20 but was unlucky to lose 21-19 in the end.

    In G2 now, LCW leads 3-2.

    SK is pumping LCW with smashes and still trailed 4-5..

    A good length low return gave SK another point , but he lost a bit of his rhythm to trail again 6-8.

    A half smash and another full smash made it 8-9.

    LCW maintains his lead 11-9 at interval and if he keeps his head cool, he should win this match.
