After the interval, a two-time junior world champion, Goh Jin Wei continued to dominate Gowda and took the 1-0 lead over the Indian.

Anwesha Gowda, who is ranked eighth among junior players worldwide, started her Australian Open campaign after she defeated Pitchaya Elysia Viravong Australia 21-9, 21-11.
PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen, both Commonwealth Games champions, withdrew from the BWF Super 300 competition earlier because of their fitness. Lakshya Sen was not there because of a throat infection, while PV Sindhu was absent due to an ankle ailment.
The season-ending BWF World Tour Finals 2022, which begin on December 14 in Guangzhou, China, will not feature Indian badminton star, PV Sindhu.
