World number 31, Joshna Chinappa beat higher seeded Rebeca Chiu of Hong Kong 3-1 to help India top Group-B with a clean slate and set up a clash against Korea in the semifinal of the team events of the Asian Squash Championship in progress here.
Chinappa thus avenged her loss to Chiu loss in the individual event a few days ago. She won 11-4, 11-7, 4-11, 11-7 in 25 minutes.
Chinappa was at her best today and able to play her shots much deeper. She was deceptive in her shots close to the front wall. Chinappa also succeeeded in her retrivals and some of her picks of returns were unbelievable. Chiu on her part, was under tremendous pressure after trailing 0-2.
Dipika Pallikal then defeated Annie Au 11-6, 11-4,11-8 in 33 minutes. Anaka Alakamony fought gallantly before going down to highly ranked Joey Chan at 11-3, 6-11,8-11, 5-11 in 35 minutes.
Indian women, who have lost to Hong Kong in the last edition, has a fair chance of making the final. Korea is sixth seeded here and the hosts women have a better rating than their rivals.
However, with world number one, Nicol David staying back to help Malaysia to retain the title, it is difficult for the other continental teams to beat them, as Nicol would be ably assisted by Delia Arnold and Low Wee Wern. Malaysia take on Hong Kong in the semifinal tomorrow.
Indian men spearheaded by Saurav Ghosal made sure of their progress to the last four. India, after defeating China 2-0 in their last league match this morning, beat a fighting Korea with an identical margin in the quarterfinal in the evening.

Earlier in the morning, Ghosal did not exert much beating Wang Junjie 11-4, 11-4, 11-5 and Sandhu got the better of Shen Jiaqi 13-11,11-4, 11-9.
