The Indian men's and women's table tennis teams stayed on course for a podium finish as they topped their respective groups to make the quarterfinals on Saturday.
The defending champions women's side just eased past all their three group rivals, recording identical 3-0 scorelines. After blanking South Africa and Fiji on Friday, the side led by Manika Batra outclassed Guyana 3-0 in a Group 2 match on Saturday. They will play Malaysia later in the quarterfinals.
On the second day of the competition, the pair of Sreeja Akula and Reeth Tennison steamrolled Natalie Cummings and Chealsea Edghill 11-5, 11-7, 11-7 to put India 1-0 ahead.
The reigning CWG champion Manika continued her good form by annihilating Thuraia Thomas 11-1, 11-3, 11-3. Batra so far has not conceded more than five points to her rivals in her three matches.
Reeth, however, had to put up a fight in another singles match to overcome the challenge of Chealsea Edghill after losing the second game 14-12. She ultimately prevailed 11-7, 14-12, 13-11.
