All three Indian finalists were a game down, won the second game, but failed to convert the third.
After losing the first game 18-21, Unnati dominated the next game 21-9. The third was neck to neck till 14-14 before the Thai raced to victory, clinching the decider 21-14.
While Anish was a little off-beat at the start and his opponent from Chinese Taipei took full advantage of that to win the first game 21-8. Anish regrouped in the second game to force a decider. He was always seen calming himself despite tense situations, which yielded results as he pocketed the tougher second game 24-22.
The decider was a close affair but errors on crucial points hurt the Indian's chances as he went down 21-19 in the final game.
