It turned out to be a case of so near, yet so far for Team India (Open category) on the last day of the qualifying round robin at the 48th <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/sports-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">World Bridge Championship</a> in Marrakech, Morocco on Sunday.
On Saturday, the Indian squad looked on course to finish in the Top 8. However, a surprising loss to lowly-placed Egypt was a setback and that put the pressure back on India.
India won in the penultimate match against <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Australia-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Australia</a>, but only just. They lost to leaders Norway who were on a roll. India wilted under pressure before going down.&nbsp;
This opened doors for China and USA1 to qualify. Finally, India emerged 10th among 24 teams.&nbsp;
