In the quarterfinal match against China's Li Jun Hui and Liu Yu Chen, the Indian duo outclassed the world number three ranked opponents in two straight-game 21-19, 21-15 at the Haixia Olympic Sports Center.
In the 43-minute long encounter, Indians had the upper hand in the game as they did not lose momentum in both the games.
