(CWG 2018 UPDATES)But on Monday, India set right that anomaly as the team defeated Malaysia 3-1 in the final to win the gold medal. However, Liu and Peng dominated the second game and opened up a good lead and went on to win the second game. The good opening seemed to give Kidambi Srikanth the confidence to register his first win against Malaysian legend Lee Chong Wei. The Indians fought back and opened a 5-11 lead in the second game but the Malaysians cut it down to 9-12.
