Declan Marshall Gonsalves and Mohamed Anas Imran Beg went down 10-12, 8-12 against Vietnam in their opening Group B match at the Nagoya City Higashi Sports Center.

The Indian pair kept the first set close but could not convert their opportunities at the crucial stages, with Vietnam edging it 12-10. The second set was more one-sided as the Vietnamese pair closed it out 12-8.

Gonsalves and Beg, who won India's first-ever Teqball World Championships medal with a men's doubles bronze in 2024, now turn their attention to their second Group B match against the Republic of Korea.

A positive result there will be important for their hopes of progressing to the knockout stage, with the competition format also providing a repechage route.
