<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/india-beat-chinese-taipei-2-1-23343987" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">India</a> remained in Asia/Oceania Group I by finishing third in the tournament. Rutuja Bhosale put India ahead with her 6-2, 7-6(5) win over Monique Barry in the opening singles.
Raina needed to win the next match against World &nbsp;No. 169 Lulu Sun, but was outgunned 2-6, 0-6. A victory in that match would have earned India a place in the play-offs for the first time. India had another chance in the doubles, but the combo of Raina and Thombare lost the contest 1-6 5-7 to Paige Hourigan and Erin Routliffe.
