India at Paralympics 2024 Day 2 live updates: Nithya Sre/Sivarajan through to XD SH6 semis

Badminton, mixed doubles SH6: Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan and Sivarajan Solaimalai qualify for the semi-finals by the skin of their teeth! Having lost their first group B match, the Indian duo had to beat Thailand’s Meechai Natthapong and Chai Saeyang in straight games to make it to the semi-finals. And they do just that.

They comfortably won the first game 21-7 but were given a tough fight in the second game. They eventually secure a 21-7, 21-17 win and they were pumped up with the win. They top group B on points difference ahead of the American pair of Miles Krajewski and Jayci Simon.

Badminton, men’s singles SH6: Tokyo 2020 champion Krishna Nagar loses his first match 16-21, 18-21 to the USA’s Miles Krajewski. Having lost the first game, Nagar was ahead in the second game only to commit a few unforced errors. Krajewski was relentless as he defended brilliantly to close down the gap and eventually completed the turnaround in the second game.

Nagar now has to beat Thailand’s Meechai Natthapong in straight games tomorrow to stay in the hunt for the quarter-finals.

Rain-soaked but unstoppable! ????️????
