Chennai: Promising squash player Dipika
Pallikal continued to dazzle as India reserved a quarterfinal
berth in the 13th World Junior Women`s Team Championship by
drubbing France 3-0 here today.
India, who defeated Germany 3-0 yesterday, advance into
the final-eight from Pool-B, which comprises four teams.
Pallikal today set the momentum in the hosts` favour in
the crucial match by defeating Emilie Lamilango 12-10 11-6
11-7.
Taking heart from Pallikal`s spirited show, compatriot
Anaka Alankamony, who replaced Anwesha Reddy for today`s
encounter, survived some anxious moments before beating Julia
Lecoq 7-11, 7-11, 11-5, 11-7, 11-8.
Surbhi Mishra then rallied from behind to round off the
tally by overcoming Cyrielle Peltier 8-11, 11-4, 11-3, 11-4.
India will now take on England, who also has qualified
for the final-eight, in their last group match tomorrow to
decide the group winner.
England, who beat France yesterday, quelled Germany`s
challenge in another Pool-B match.
