The Japanese duo had been wanting to hold the title they had earned two years back yet made a faltering beginning at Queen Elizabeth Stadium. The duo of Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino endured a 21-17, 21-17  loss to China's He Jiting and Du Yue.

Kanta Tsuneyama guaranteed the holders ricocheted back promptly by winning his men's singles match.

Tsuneyama defeated China's Lu Guangzhou 21-18, 21-7. Japan started to lead the pack when Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi originated from a game down to beat Han Chengkai and Zhou Haodong 16-21, 21-18, 21-13 in the men's doubles.

The last seemed, by all accounts, to be making a beeline for its decision when Japan's Sayaka Takanashi dominated the initial match of her women's singles tie against Han Yue.

Han delivered a great rebound to edge her opponent in two successive matches to dominate 17-21, 21-19, 21-17. It left the result of the opposition laying on the ladies' doubles match. Having been near the precarious edge of annihilation, the Chinese group finished the turnaround as Du Yue and Li Yinhui made sure about a 21-16, 21-9 triumph over Ayako Sakuramoto and Yukiko Takahata.

Asia Mixed Team Championship is considered as one of the biggest Badminton tournaments at the Asian continent level and the team winning it is considered as the probable contender for the Olympics as well as All England Badminton Championship. China has won the most titles so far which clearly shows its dominance in this competition.
