• India defeated Pakistan 2-1 in the final.

India won the gold medal in the men’s squash team competition at the ongoing Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou, China, on Saturday by defeating Pakistan 2-1.

Pakistan played admirably throughout the competition but lost in the final and was only able to win a silver medal.

After defeating Mahesh Mangaonakar 3-0 in the opening match of the three-match final, Nasir Iqbal gave his team a strong start.

Nasir triumphed with scores of 11-8, 11-3, and 11-2.

In a one-sided match, Saurav Ghosal defeated Mohammad Asim Khan with scores of 11-5, 11-1, and 11-3, allowing the Blues to get back into the game.

The decisive game between Noor Zaman and Abhay Singh was the only one left.

India won the dramatic five-set nail-biter, which lasted 65 minutes and included two great players.

Singh won the first game with little to no difficulty. However, with Zaman’s outstanding comeback in back-to-back games, which gave him a commanding 2-1 lead after the third game, he gave his counterpart a tough time.

But after Singh’s outstanding performance in the fourth game, the match’s decisive set, which lasted the longest at 14 minutes, was decided.

Zaman was ahead 10-8 and one point away from capturing the gold for his nation, but Singh didn’t give up and kept fighting until he eventually prevailed, winning the last game 12-10 to secure the honor for his nation.

Abhey Sing emerged victorious with scores of 11-7, 9-11, 8-11, 11-9, and 12-10.
