Notably, this is Sindhu&#8217;s 18th win over Busanan in 19 matches.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Sindhu misjudged a few backcourt floaters early in the first game and that kept her Thai opponent ahead with a marginal lead. A flat diagonal return from PV Sindhu helped her make it 4-4 before Busanan clawed her way back into the game to gain a two-point lead.<\/p>\n<p>The Thai shuttler maintained her two-point lead 11-9 till the mid-game interval as she kept Sindhu&#8217;s attack at bay.<\/p>\n<p>Busanan returned to the court with an unmatched energy after the mid-game interval and stunned Sindhu. The 28-year-old raced to a seven-point lead combined with deft touch and aggression. Busanan outfoxed Sindhu during the long rallies and thwarted her quick diagonals and smashes.<\/p>\n<p>The highest-ranked Indian female shuttler could only manage four more points in the first game before the world-ranked 10 flew away with the first game 21-13.<\/p>\n<p>Sindhu began the second game with a 1-0 lead after Busanan went wide while attempting a cross-court lift. The Indian fell prey to some poor umpiring early in the second game after a cross-court smash was called out despite landing within the lines.    <\/p>\n<p>It gave Busanan an opening and she capitalised by taking a 4-2 lead. However, a much more alert Sindhu didn&#8217;t let her opponent run away with the lead and scripted a fightback to make it 11-9 at the mid-interval.<\/p>\n<p>The Rio Olympics silver medallist maintained her composure to take the second game 21-16 and pushed the contest into the decider. The decider witnessed a dominant run by Sindhu as she ran away with the game and convincingly defeated her opponent 21-12.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/pv-sindhu-advances-to-malaysia-masters-final-pips-busanan-ongbamrungphan-in-semifinal-2024-05-25-933321\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY IMAGES PV Sindhu.
