I

ndonesian men’s doubles pair Berry Angriawan and Rian Agung Saputro won the SCG Thailand Open badminton tournament in Bangkok on Sunday.

The second-seed Indonesian pair outclassed Japanese pair Takuto Inoue and Yuki Kaneko in a rubber 17-21, 21-14, 21-18 in a one-hour battle at the Nimibutr Stadium, according to tournamentsoftware.com.
