Chennai, July 26:
India suffered a narrow 1-2 loss against arch-rivals Pakistan in the pre-quarterfinals of the WSF-World Junior Squash team championship here today.
In what was a hugely anticipated clash, the visitors from across the border, seeded 11th, marched ahead as Haris Qasim and Abbas Zeb posted wins over Rahul Baitha and Yash Fadte respectively after losing the opening match.
Baitha started positively and won the opening game with some steady play. Qasim came back after wining a close second game in which both players had their chances and the momentum seemed to turn in his favour from thereon.
In the second match, India number one Fadte began well and took the opening game 11-6 as the home side cheered on by the crowd looked to mount a fightback. (PTI)
