India started on the wrong foot with Manan Chandra losing to Thailand's Ratchayothin Yotharuck 30-65. But the recently crowned 6-Red conti- nental champion Pankaj Advani levelled the score by defeating Yuttapop Pakpoj 70-37.

Earlier, Advani had spear- headed India past Qatar. He gave the team a 1-0 lead when he outclassed Qatar's Ahmed Sai 70-16, which was then increased to 2-0 by Chandra, who defeated Mohsin Bukshaisha 70-45.
