In Badminton, Maisnam Meiraba put up a brave effort before India bowed out of the Asia Junior Championships. 

In Suzhou, China, today Meiraba suffered a 0-3 loss to Indonesia in the quarter-finals of the Mixed Team event. In an absorbing battle between two top-20 junior players, World No. 14 Meiraba managed to take a game off his 17th ranked opponent, Bobby Setiabudi, but the Indonesian proved too strong in the end with a 21-17, 15-21, 21-11 win in 59 minutes. 

 In girls' singles, Malvika Bansod was unlucky to miss out on winning a tight first game and eventually went down fighting 20-22, 7-21 to junior World No. 4 Putri Kusuma Wardani. 

Tanisha Crasto and Sathish Kumar Karunakaran suffered a 15-21, 18-21 defeat to Leo Rolly Carnando and Indah Cahya Sari Jamil in mixed doubles.
