In MXD, Dipika and Saurav lost the final against New Zealand's Joelle King and Paul Coll in straight games ... Our pair scored very tight win against same pair in the Pool but in the final they failed to execute their plan on the court.

So with this silver we also won couple of bronze medals from women's double and mixed doubles.

It must be pretty crowded and dangerous on the Squash court in a doubles match. But good to see such excellent results from the Indian pairs, especially the Mixed Doubles silver.
