Glasgow, Aug 27 (IBNS): Indian badminton star PV Sindhu failed to deliver in the final of the World Badminton Championships as she was defeated by her Japanese opponent here on Sunday.

Nozomi Okuhara defeated the Indian player 19-21, 22-20, 20-22 in the final match.

The final match witnessed strong fight between the two opponents.

Sindhu made her first final appearance in the World Championship on Sunday.
