Zhang fought back from an opening game hammering and match point down in the second to overcome Sindhu, 7-21 24-22 21-15. At last week’s VICTOR China Open, Sindhu had fallen in the second round.
It came off the back of news that Sindhu's coach Kim Ji Hyun had resigned from the Indian team due to personal reasons.
Beiwen Zhang will take on Canada’s Michelle Li, who avenged last week’s defeat to Pornpawee Chochuwong, beating the Thai 21-19 21-19.
