Chaliha saved two match points before Sindhu closed out the match.
Two-time Olympic medallist P.V. Sindhu progressed to the women's singles semifinals after defeating fellow Indian Ashmita Chaliha in straight games at the Yonex-Sunrise India Open badminton tournament here on Friday.
Top seed Sindhu, a former world champion, took 36 minutes to get the better of 21-year-old Chaliha 21-7 21-18 and set up a last-four clash with Thailand's Supanida Katethong, seeded sixth.
Katethong entered the semifinals after the third seeded Yeo Jia Min of Singapore pulled out of the tournament due to "high fever".
