The opening game saw fortunes
fluctuating every now and then with

points proved crucial as they
pocketed the game 21-17.
In the second game, the Indian girls
were in control as they did not allow
their opponents to settle down and
kept on collecting points. Jwala and
Ashwini led in the whole game and
eventually clinched it 21-16 and with
it the match.
