Mumbai, July 14:
India, ranked 11th in the continent and 61st in the world, stunned favourites China 65-58 in a Group A game of the 5th FIBA Asia Cup basketball championship for a historic first-ever triumph over the world’s 12th-ranked nation at Wuhan.
Pratham Singh and Amjyot Singh yesterday accounted for 13 points apiece, while pivotal player Vishesh Bhriguvanshi notched up 10 points as India led the continental giants by 15 points after the second quarter, according to FIBA Asia website.
In head-to-head record, 15-time winners of the Asian Basketball Championship, China had won all their seven previous meetings in the FIBA ABC between the two rivals, by at least 30 points on each occasion, but this was the first time the two teams met in the FIBA Asia Cup.
It was India’s first win in two games in the five-team group also comprising Asia no. 2 Iran, no. 7 Japan and no. 14 Indonesia.
Coach Scott Fleming said it was a surprise to him why this, a victory over China, had not happened earlier.
“In fact, I’m more surprised that this was the first win for India against China. Because we have a lot of potential and this should have happened much earlier,” Flemming told FIBA Asia website.
“For me personally, this win was another game in this competition. We have lot more games to go. But for these guys (the players) it’s a great result for all the hard work they have put all these years,” the American said. (PTI)

JAMMU, July 14: Principal Sessions Judge Poonch, Jaffer Hussain Beigh has acquitted a police constable namely Imtiaz Ahmed, son of Mohd Younis of Mendhar, who was facing rape charges as prosecution failed to prove the case.
According to the police case, on February 12, 2007 the alleged accused after enticing prosecutrix to marriage with criminal intention committed rape upon her. On her complaint, police registered a case and after completion of investigation challan was presented.
After hearing both the sides, Principal Sessions Judge observed, “as stated by the prosecutrix the accused also made promise for marriage with her, in such circumstances the promise loses all significance, particularly when they went from bus-stand to the hotel, the prosecutrix herself spent night in the hotel with the accused without any resistance and succumbed to the temptation of having sexual relationship”.
“If the statement of the prosecutrix is taken as it is, the prosecutrix willingly consented to having sexual intercourse with the accused with whom she accompanied to the hotel, not because he promised to marry her, but because she also desired it”, the court said.
With these observations, court dismissed the challan produced by the police and acquitted the accused of the charges leveled against him.

Australia ‘A’ medium-pacer Sayers (3/22) sent opener Robin Uthappa for 10 and then cleaned up Lokesh Rahul for 52, who notched up his eighth first-class fifty.

Sayers struck again for the final time of the day to get Singh caught behind for 29 and put the visitors in trouble again.

Playing on his home turf, Cutting combined the right dose of caution and aggression to trouble the Indian bowlers and hit five fours and four sixes in his 117-ball innings.
Off-spinner Aparajith broke the partnership after scalping Boyce with Uthappa pulling off a neat catch.
Umesh Yadav (5/83), who had picked up three wickets on Sunday, bagged a five wicket haul while Amit Mishra had to remain content with 4/142.
