Despite a thrilling victory by world number one Lee Chong Wei of Mumbai Masters in the opening match, the Hotshots bounced back with Saina winning her women's singles, followed by triumph of men's doubles combo of V Shem Goh and W L Khim and later men's singles player Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk emerged victorious to seal the tie in Hyderabad's favour.
Having registered three victories from four outings, the Hotshots are at the top of the table with 15 points.
Post his win Lee Chong said: "Initially the wind was very high and I decided to start slow. It took me some time to adjust but the warm up gave good result. I am happy with the win. We are one up already."
However, world number four Saina Nehwal thrashed P C Thulasi 21-7 21-10 in a 28-minute women's singles match to bring Hyderabad's campaign back on track here.
