Sisters Namna, Riya to clash in final

 While Namna crushed fourth seed Mouboni Chatterjee of Ahmedabad 4-1 in her semis, the younger Jayswal and third seed sprung a surprise when she upset the second seed Arnee Parmar of Surat.

The junior girls’ (U-17) final will be played between top seed from Ahmedabad Pratha Pawar, who downed fourth seed Arnee 4-2, and third seed Riya, who once again punched above her weight to beat second seed Nidhi Prajapati of Ahmedabad 4-2.

  Top seed Pratha stormed into final of the sub-junior girls’ (U-15) category too after a comfortable win over Surat’s Sanaya Achha 4-1 and will start as the favourite in her encounter against seventh seed Nidhi.

  The cadet girls’ (U-13) summit clash will witness two Amdavadi paddlers-top seed Mouboni and second seed Jiya Trivedi-fighting it out for the trophy.
