Action begins Dec 23
Match 1
Chennai Smashers vs Awadh Warriors
Time 7:00 pm IST

Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu are headed for a show down. Teams will have fun picking the Trump match! :)
 
Professional Badminton players are very hard-working indeed. They are willing to play in end of year till January. When are these guys having a break? It better be a big payday for the champion.
No wonder Saina is critical of BWF new rule instructing top players to enter 12 events in 2018.

Well playing in this League might earn you more money than you make by winning SSP... So, of course the interest is high...

If you include Thomas Cup/Uber Cup, Asian Games, Common Wealth Games, World Championships, Senior National Badminton Championships
and PBL it becomes 18 tournaments for 2018! Indian players will either have to pay the fine or pull out on below par fitness levels. :)
