In the women?s World junior squash championship being held in Boston,
Anaka Alankamony started on a rousing note. She beat the European junior champion and semifinalist in the individual events, Emily Whitlock. Anaka outplayed her opponent for two-and-a-half games to lead 6-2 in the third. Whitlock pulled one back but the Indian kept her focus going and grabbed the fourth game and the match.
Taking a leaf from Anaka?s grand show, Aparajitha Balamurukan provided a glimpse of her fighting abilities. Down two games to Victoria Temple-Murray, the Indian fought back, surviving a match ball and racing away to a great win in 44 minutes.
With the Indians taking a winning lead, the third match scheduled between Saumya Karki and Katie Smith became redundant.
India faces USA in one semifinal while Egypt takes on Hong Kong in the other.
The result: India beat England 2-0 (Anaka Alankamony bt Emily Whitlock 11-7, 11-5, 9-11, 11-9; Aparajitha Balamurukan bt Victoria Temple-Murray 7-11, 6-11, 11-8, 12-10, 11-4).
