After failing to produce much resistance in the first game, Satwik-Chirag, 12th in the men's doubles badminton rankings, put up a fight in the second but couldn't prevent a 21-13, 21-17 defeat in 42 minutes.

Satwik-Chirag's ouster in the semi-finals brought an end to India's campaign at the BWF Super 1000 tournament.

This was Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty's 11th defeat in 14 matches against world No. 2 Soh Wooi Yik and Aaron Chia.

In the quarterfinals of the Paris 2024 Olympics, the Indian badminton duo had also fallen to the Malaysian combination. (ANI)
