India is doing quite well in defending its title in the 3rd Asian Doubles Squash Championships. The top-seeded Indians, Abhay Singh and Velavan Senthilkumar, have managed to reach the finals. They will face the second-seeded Pakistani combination of Nasir Iqbal and Noor Zaman in the men's doubles final on Sunday.

On Saturday, Abhay and Velavan began their run by defeating the Japanese pairing of Naoki Hayashi and Ren Makino in a closely fought quarter-final match 11-3, 10-12, 11-5. They followed up with another victory in the semi-finals against Malaysia's Sanjay Jeeva and Duncan Lee by 11-9, 11-7.

The Indian duo has remained unbeaten during their march to the final round. They emerged victorious in Pool A when they defeated South Korea's Oh Seojin and Minwoo Lee and Hong Kong's Shing Fung Lam and Yat Long Chung in straight games. There were, however, bitter-sweet moments in the women's and mixed doubles categories where medal aspirations in both disciplines ended in the semi-finals.

Second seeds Joshna Chinappa and Radhika Seelan had to settle for a bronze medal after losing 9-11, 7-11 to Malaysia's top seeds Ainaa Amani and Yee Xin Ying. Earlier in the tournament, the Indian pair had dominated Pool B, winning all four of their league matches-including a straight-game victory over Singapore's Wai Lin Au Yeong and Naisha Singh-to finish at the top of the standings.

Joshna's campaign in the mixed doubles also concluded in the semi-finals. Partnering with Velavan Senthilkumar, she put up a tough fight against Malaysia's Aina Amani and Mohammad Kamal but suffered a defeat in the semi-finals with a scoreline of 8-11, 11-8, 8-11. This result secured a bronze medal for the Indian pair, marking another podium finish for them in this event. Both players had reached the knockout rounds in excellent form, remaining unbeaten in Pool B; they had topped the group by defeating pairs from Singapore and South Korea. India's second men's doubles pair, Rahul Baitha and Suraj Chand, failed to advance after suffering their second defeat in Pool B, losing to Pakistan's Nasir Iqbal and Noor Zaman. This Pakistani pair will now pose a challenge to Abhay and Velavan in their title defense.
