In the first game Saina opened couple of points lead from 4-all and which she kept increasing for winning this game ... In the second game Sun won 11 points in a row from 5-all to lead 16-5 ... Saina reduced that to 14-17 but Sun regained her composure and won the game converting 2nd game point ... In the decider Sun 8-5 lead but Saina made it 8-all ... After that Sun won next 7 points to lead 15-8 but this time also Saina fought back and won next 8 points to made it 15-all ... But from 17-all Sun won next 4 points for the upset win ... Sun outperformed Saina in the net game.
