About this match -
This video series consists of three parts. Please see all three parts.
This is no ordinary match. This is a match between
'Olympic Player + Sri Lanka's Former Best Female Badminton Player'
vs
'New Generation Badminton Player Representing Sri Lanka Team + Her Sister'.
MMPP we call this a competition between
Sri Lanka Badminton Super Heroes and Pure Sisterhood.
The highlight of this match is that although there was a large crowd in the
audience to support these superheroes, only their father
and another fellow badminton player were there to support the sisters.
Therefore, these sisters had to play under a lot of pressure.
Accompanying the utmost affection of fatherhood,
the support these sisters received from the Father touched our hearts.
It should be mentioned that veteran player Chandrika de Silva
performed excellently against a younger player in this match.
So veteran player Chandrika de Silva deserves a special round of applause
Regarding round 1 video -
we again request you to watch all three video segments.

We lost the first 10 minutes of the match due to a slight delay that day.
