Kazakhstan held the size advantage over the Indian team but the hosts scored from a balanced team effort. Shireen Limaye was aggressive on her drives to the basket, while guards Paul Durai and Raspreet created space to knock down their jumpers.


"All the hard work over the past five months paid off," said India star Shireen after the thrilling victory. Thrilled by the win, BFIâu00c2u0080u00c2u0088announced a cash prize of R10 lakh for the team.
