The Indian women pulled off a stunning 3-1 win over Australia in the quarterfinals of the Common wealth Games table tennis event at the Yamuna Sports Complex here on Wednesday.
Mouma Das wasn't herself in the first match against Jian Fang Lay. The forehand smashes which are her forte were few and far between against an opponent, who didn't have any noticeable armour expect for a whiplash of a backhand. Mouma lost 7-11, 4-11, 11-8, 11-9, 9-11.
K. Shamini put India back in the hunt with a sparkling 4-11, 11-7, 11-8, 11-7 win over Miao Miao. Then, Poulomi Ghatak took charge and seemed to revel under pressure; her high toss services, the classical forehand and backhand top-spin shots were spot on from the first point.
