They won the encounter 7-11, 11-9, 8-11, 5-11.

Aruna and Toriola will face the pair of pang Yew En Koen and Poh Shao Feng Ethan from Singapore on Friday in the quarter-finals 2 of the table tennis event.

Meanwhile, the pair of Abiodun Bode and Omotayo Olajide lost in straight sets to England’s duo of Drinkhall Paul Pitchford Liam in the men’s doubles round of 16.

They lost 7-11, 8-11, 3-11.
