No.11 Zhang Beiwen from the U.S. 15-9, 15-12 in the India Premier Badminton League, this morning (Jan. 10) in New Delhi.
Zhang showed some resistance to hang in there but was not up to the task at hand. She managed to race to a 4-0 lead in the second game, but that was short-lived as Tai came roaring back to highlight Smash Masters dominance.
Tai, together with HS Prannoy, led the Ahmedabad Smash Masters to a comprehensive 5-0 win over the Mumbai Rockets at Nehru Indoor in New Delhi, India. Tai will be heading to Malaysia for the 2018 Perodua Malaysia Masters which will be held from Jan. 16-21 at the Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur Sports City.
