This number is for an adult of about 70 kg. A heavier person burns more, a lighter one a bit less.
An hour is about 405 kcal and half an hour about 200. That's a proper game of singles or a lively doubles, not a gentle back garden rally.
It looks polite, but chasing a shuttlecock into every corner is properly tiring. Your calves will agree.
