At u-14 Asia-Oceania Final Qualfying, Kutching, Malaysia (WJT boys)

Semi Final
(5) INDIA l (1) KOREA 1-2

Sahil Deshmukh (Ind) l Seong Chan Hong (Kor) 16 06
Sumit Nagal (Ind) l Ku Keon Kang (Kor) 46 57
Sahil Deshmukh/ Garvit Batra bt Seong Chan Hong/ Duck Hee Lee 36 Retd.

Top-seed Koreans look too strong for this age group ... Surprised by one-sided loss of Sahil against Hong ... Nagal produced fighting performance against Kang ... In doubles also Koreans were in control before they gave match to India due to injury ... Hopefully our boys repeat same performance of group to beat higher seeded Chinese team to finish in top-3.
