Sen has made it to the finals of the tournament for the second consecutive time.
Meanwhile, in the women’s singles category, Ashmita Chaliha defeated Thailand’s Chananchida Jucharoen in straight sets -- 21-19, 21-19 -- and made her way into the finals.
Ashmita will face Vrushali Gummadi in the summit clash as the latter defeated compatriot and third-seeded Mugdha Agrey in straight sets 21-11, 21-12 in the other semi-final.
