India 7-5 Pakistan
Pheww, that was a thriller. It went right down the wire and India finally, finally managed to come on top. The tie had no point going this close once India led 4-0, but a loss to Mahesh Mangaonkar and then Saurav Ghosal trailing 0-2 meant Pakistan were in driver's seat.
Once Ghosal went 0-2 down, he had to win three games in a row to pocket the tie for India. Pakistan's Aslam, on the other hand, had to defy him only once more. But, it was not meant to be.
Saurav Ghosal came out with vengeance and clinched it for India.

Saurav Ghosal, take a bowwwwww!
He was under tremendous pressure. The match and the tie seems lost. But, he comes out bosses around in the remaining three games, wins the game as well as the tie for INDIA.
9-11, 7-11, 11-1, 11-7, 11-8

Down to the wire
This tie has gone down to the final game. Who will come out on top? Saurav Ghosal or Tayyab Aslam?

Ghosal survives, INDIA SURVIVE
There is a reason why Ghosal is called the King of Indian squash and he has proven it now. Comes from two games down to equalise when the tie is on the line.
The job is not done though. He needs to win the next game to snatch win for India.

Saurav Ghosal seems well in control to take this match into a decider. But, Aslam is fighting hard.
