But ohori

BWF Thomas: Indian women's badminton team finished their BWF Thomas and Uber Cup 2024 campaign in the quarterfinals after losing to former champions Japan 0-3 on Thursday, despite a splendid effort by the singles players.

In the absence of all the experienced campaigners, yet making it to the last eight stage with two convincing wins over Canada and Singapore is a huge shot in the arm for the young contingent.

In the opening singles, Ashmita Chaliha saved a match point against World no. 11 Aya Ohori and led 11-9 at the interval in the decider. But Ohori used all her experience to raise the tempo immediately after to take five straight points and then went on to wrap the match 21-10, 22-24, 21-15 in an hour and seven minutes.
