For the first time in the history of badminton, two Indians will clash in a Super Series final with Kidambi Srikanth taking on B. Sai Praneeth at the Singapore Open later today.

Former World No. 3 Srikanth notched up a 21-13 21-14 win over World No. 26 and 2014 Youth Olympic Games bronze medallist Anthony Sinisuka Ginting to reach the third Super Series final of his career.

Earlier, Praneeth, who had reached the finals at the Syed Modi Grand Prix Gold in January, 2017 before being laid low by a shoulder injury, continued his rampaging run in the tournament to thrash three-time Korea Masters Grand Prix Gold winner Lee 21-6 21-8 in a lop-sided semifinal match.

Only three nations, China, Indonesia and Denmark, have so far had two of their shuttlers playing in finals of a Super               Series event.

Praneeth was the first to make it to the summit clash after he executed his plans brilliantly to completely blow away his opponent in a 38-minute match.
