In the final at the Nimibutr Arena, the top seeds defeated Jeong Na Eun/Lee Yeon Woo 21-16 21-17 in 58 minutes, capping off a dominant week in Bangkok.
The triumph is their first of the season and helps erase the disappointment of an opening round exit at the Malaysia Open earlier this year.
“It means a lot to be honest,” Muralitharan reflected. “We didn’t start the year well but we never lost faith in each other. Step by step, we overcame a few things. This win will help take us forward.”
