In the second though, Sindhu improved her game and fought for each point against Sun. But the Chinese was clearly the better player. Sun led and Sindhu was always trailing. The Indian trailed until the 15-point mark where she equalised but Sun was determined to finish the match in the second game. Sindhu gave fight for only two more points and conceded the game 17-21.
