Despite Orawan facing Ghorpade once again, she was unable to secure the win, falling 0-3, 5-11, 8-11, 9-11 and the tie score reverted back to 2-2, prompting a fifth and decisive match. In this match, Suthasini lost to Akula, with the score 1-3, finalizing the result as 2-2 and sending the competition to a dramatic conclusion. Thailand’s women’s table tennis team’s campaign came to an end at the quarterfinal stage, while India advanced to the semifinals, securing at least a bronze medal.
