Odisha Open 2022: Malvika Bansod stuns junior World No.1 Tasnim Mir to enter quarterfinals

Syed Modi International 2022 finalist Malvika Bansod defeated junior world no.1 Tasnim Mir to enter quarter-finals at the Odisha Open 2022.

Continuing her good run of form, young Indian shuttler Malvika Bansod got the better of compatriot and junior world no.1 Tasnim Mir in straight games to advance to the women's singles quarterfinals of the Odisha Open on Thursday (January 27). Bansod took just over half an hour to dispatch 16-year-old Tasnim 21-13, 21-15 in the women's singles pre-quarterfinals of the BWF Super 100 tournament.

The 20-year-old Bansod, who had lost to PV Sindhu in the final of the Syed Modi International last week before defeating her idol Saina Nehwal at the India Open earlier this month, will take on the winner of the clash between Tanya Hemanth and Vijetha Harish.
