Mumbai, Aug 18:
Following back-to-back victories in their first two ties, high-flying Pune Pistons would be aiming to provide stiff competition to the Saina Nehwal-spearheaded Hyderabad Hotshots in their Indian Badminton League contest here tomorrow.
Pistons’ come-from-behind victory over Mumbai Masters in their Maharashtra state Derby clash at Lucknow last night should be a great morale-booster for the league toppers ahead of their face-off against Saina’s Hotshots at the National Sports Club of India stadium courts in Worli.
Julinane Schenk, the German powerhouse who, at number four, is one rung below Saina in the world badminton women’s singles rankings, looms as a major threat to the Hotshots who had beaten Awadhe Warriors 3-2 in their opening clash at Delhi on August 15. (PTI)
