CWG 2010 Lineup – 7 to do double-duty on final day of teams

Seven doubles players will called upon twice to try for points for their teams in the gold and bronze medal team ties for the badminton mixed team event of the Delhi Commonwealth Games.  Jwala Gutta, as expected, will be fielded twice – though likely only if she can win her first – while Malaysia’s mixed players, Chin Eei Hui and Koo Kien Keat, must both take to the court a second time.

Yesterday’s hero, Parupalli Kashyap, got to nod to duel with Lee Chong Wei while Wong Mew Choo will indeed take on Saina Nehwal.

All four mixed players will be asked back to the court in the bronze medal tie between Singapore and England.
