After the break, Misbun Ramdan surprised everyone by playing incredible badminton as he took over the control from his rival and started to narrow the gap.
The young Malaysian played positive and flawless game and took a reasonable lead of 16-13. However, he lost his focus and started to play wrong shots which helped Pawar to find a good rhythm.
The Indian got the control of rallies in the concluding phase and took the game with a 21-18 score on the board.
