World squash: India go down to Egypt

Harinder Pal Sandhu and Saurav Ghosal played out of their skins to stretch the Egyptian maestros in a hard-fought quarter-final of the WSF World Team Squash Championship that the Indians lost 0-2 to the top seeds.

The eventual scoreline hardly did justice to the incredible performance from the India duo.

Sandhu was first up against former World No 1 Karim Darwish, who had to work hard for his 11-7, 11-4, 11-2 win while the current top ranked player Ramy Ashour took 61 minutes to subdue Ghosal 11-7, 11-9, 4-11, 13-11 as Egypt wrapped up the tie 2-0.
