A triumphant performance

The Indian team finished third in the Group stage in the group - Red. As mentioned in the previous report, only the top two teams of each Red and Yellow group advanced to the Semifinals. Thus, India's overall rank at the event became sixth after they drew with Hungary for the 5th-6th place match. Since India scored 8/14 in the Group stage and Hungary made 11/14, the latter won the tie-breaks. Poland won Gold, Serbia Silver and Ukraine earned the Bronze.
