Indian colts continued their rampaging run and reached the final stage of the BWF World Junior mixed team championship after thrashing France 3-0 in their playoff group G1 match here on Friday.
Mahima Aggarwal and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy put India 1-0 ahead when they defeated Delphine Delrue and Thom Gicquel 21-14, 23-21 in a 36-minute mixed doubles clash. Lakshya Sen then took the court and edged out Toma Junior Popov 21-16, 23-21 in a men’s singles match that lasted 42 minutes at the Bilbao Arena.
In the women’s singles match, Aakarshi Kashyap rallied her way after a game down to eke out a 23-25, 21-15, 21-12 win over Yaelle Hoyaux in a gruelling contest that lasted 57 minutes.
India, which had defeated Bulgaria and Finland on Thursday to reach the playoff stage, will next take on Thailand.
