As predicted, IND-THA duel presented tight battle with Thailand edged past team India 3-2. The fourth tie, second men's doubles was crucial match for both team and determine their campaign here. Last match who didn't have impact for Thailand to winning their opening match, world junior bronze medalist Adulrach Namkul forced Sourabh Verma into the limit that ended to 21-19 at deciding game.

Hong Kong squad delivered tough fighting for the Indonesians but it's not enough to steal point for former champion despite four ties went to deuce.

UBER Cup

Group C favourite Thailand Uber team won over Hong Kong, 4-1. Cheung Ngan Yi stole the point to defeat higher-ranked opponent Busanan Ongbumrungpan in straight-sets. It's a good start for team INA who defeated BUL with perfect scoreline despite first singles Maria Febe had thrilling match against Zetchiri also Awanda/Istirani were forced to work extra hard by Stoeva sisters.

The underdog Malaysia gave a scare to title-holder China, particularly to doubles category. Vivian Hoo/Woon KW blew big chance as they almost upset the mighty Chinese when led 18-11 at decider then Tang YT/Yu Y woke up and made superb comeback to lock them at 21-18. The Olympic Champion Tian Q/Zhao YL also dropped second set before stamped authority in final game.

Nothing much interesting on this day.
Perhaps of most interest being Uber Cup INA v HKG.
Second could be Thomas Cup MAS v GER.
But the rest really of no interest whatsoever.
 
Day 2 Live Streaming Court 1:

• Thomas Cup - Group D: Denmark vs South Africa


• Uber Cup - Group C: Indonesia vs Hong Kong


• Thomas Cup - Group A: China vs France


• Day 2 - Thomas & Uber Cup 2016
 
Saina newhal and Ratchanok intanon in great difficulty !!!

SN won 22-20 the first set and is down 9-13 the second
RI has lost the first set 17-21 and is 13-9 in the second
 
Afternoon session (01.30pm) line-up :

THOMAS Cup
- MAS v GER (court 2) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...98FF39E5-3CE5-4D78-A9E6-4199026B3C5D&match=47
Malaysia fields the best line-up against Germany including the veteran Koo KK/Tan BH who suffered unexpected defeat to England's Briggs/Wolfenden last night.

- TPE v NZL (court 3) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...98FF39E5-3CE5-4D78-A9E6-4199026B3C5D&match=60
It should be 5-0 for team Chinese Taipei, all of their leading players will capitalize this opening tie for court adaptation.

UBER Cup
- INA v HKG (court 1) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...8FF39E5-3CE5-4D78-A9E6-4199026B3C5D&match=126
Captain Greysia Polii will play first women's doubles partnered with Anggia Shitta Awanda, INA is favoured to win this clash but they should be wary for first and second singles, Febe v Yip PY and Fitriani v Cheung NY.

- KOR v MRI (court 4) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...8FF39E5-3CE5-4D78-A9E6-4199026B3C5D&match=106
KOR rests Sung Ji Hyun, Jung Kyung Eun and Chang Ye Na. Lee So Hee is paired up with her initial partner Shin Seung Chan.
 
Thomas Cup
- MAS v GER : No Marc Zwiebler, seems GER will save the best squad for the last group match versus ENG.
- TPE v NZL : TPE will have no problem to leading 5-0
 
The result for Germany Denmark versus South Africa is out. As usual Denmark won 5-0 easily whitewash the South Africa team.

The morning session ties most likely all 5-0. Like I said, nothing interesting at all.
Thomas Cup MAS v GER had the potential to be slightly interesting, but looking at the lineup, will be another whitewash.

So, only Uber Cup INA vs HKG holds our interest today.
