Guwahati: Indian Badminton fans are in for a real treat as two of the best women shuttlers in PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal lock horns in the Women's Singles summit clash of Senior National Badminton Championship at Guwahati. The title clash would be a repeat of the last year’s finals where Saina got the better off her arch rival Sindhu to prevail as the national champion. While Sindhu overcame a challenge from Assam's promising 19-year-old Ashmita Chaliha 21-10 22-20 in the first semifinal, Saina got the better of Nagpur qualifier Vaishnavi Bhale, who was part of India's Uber Cup squad last year, 21-15 21-14 to storm into the finals. In the Men's Singles title clash, two-time winner Sourabh Verma will take on Asian Junior champion Lakshya Sen who stunned P Kashyap. In Men's Doubles Final, Pranaav Jerry Chopra and Chirag Shetty will take on Arjun MR and Shlok Ramchandran, while for the Women's Doubles trophy, the pair of Meghana Jakkampudi and Poorvisha S Ram will play the team of Shikha Gautam and Ashwini Bhat K.
