Shuttlers disappoint in quarters

Bangladesh shuttlers disappointed in the quarter-finals of the Yonex-Sunrise Bangladesh Junior International Badminton Series as none of them made it to the last four at Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmed Indoor Stadium in Dhaka Friday.

When this report was filed, a total of 18 matches took place on the third day of the tournament with 10 still yet to be played.

All eyes were on Urmi Akter, the South Asian Games bronze-medalist in the mixed team event, but she too let down the home side, losing to India’s Adhaya by 21-2 and 21-7 points.

Bangladesh’s Sibgat and Urmi also lost in the last eight of the mixed doubles by 2-0 sets against Go Boon and Ching Su.
