PV Sindhu Praveen Penugonda   8:31 PM

The much-anticipated clash of the Premier Badminton League  (PBL)  came to a rather disappointing end as PV Sindhu loses to Carolina Marin 8-11, 14-12, 2-11 in the tournament opener held in Hyderabad on Sunday. This is not an ideal start for Sindhu's New Year as she starts the PBL season with a defeat.The expectations were sky high as the duo recently played against each other in Dubai series finals where Sindhu emerged victorious.  

Sindhu represented the Chennai team While Marin represented Hyderabad. Marin won the first game 11-8, however, Sindhu fought back aggressively in the second and even saved three match points and eventually the second set 14-12. But in the third set Carolina clearly dominated her opponent and eventually won the game 11-2  to seal the match.Marin played some top notch game and deceived Sindhu with accurate drops and fired in the smashes when required and won. Sindhu committed a lot of unforced errors and that did not help the cause and she eventually lost the contest to Olympic Gold medalist.
