With India missing the services of their first-choice men\u2019s and women\u2019s doubles combinations, they needed the bench strength to step up. Up stepped Tanisha and Shruti, showing what they are capable of with a 21-13, 21-18 win over Natasia Anthonisen and Alexandra Boje in the last rubber.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, former world champion PV Sindhu came closest to bagging another point for India against Line Kjaersfeldt. The 29-year-old showed glimpses of her old self as she took the lead in both games, but could not maintain the momentum and lost narrowly 20-22, 21-23.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The tie began with mixed doubles, where India\u2019s Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crato faced opponents Jesper Toft and Amalie Magelund. Dhruv and Tanisha started strong but went down 13-21, 14-21 in straight games, giving Denmark the early advantage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asian Games bronze medallist HS Prannoy, then, took the fight to Anders Antonsen in the men\u2019s singles rubber, but ended up on the wrong end of the 15-21, 16-21 score line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
