Two-time defending champions Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo kept their title defence alive after edging out Indian duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty 21-16 21-18 in 44 minutes.
“We’re really happy, we’re into the finals again. Today was a tough match, they have a very powerful attack and it was really difficult for us," said Sukamuljo post-match.
'The Minions’ were 9-0 heading into the encounter but said their imposing record over the world No.11 pair had little bearing on their preparation.
