Indian Sports Wrap, December 13: India to Face Hong Kong in Squash World Cup Final

India achieved a historic first final appearance by winning all three matches against defending champions Egypt with strong performances from Senthilkumar, Anahat Singh, and Abhay Singh.

  • On December 14, 2025, India defeated defending champions Egypt 3-0 at Express Avenue Mall, Chennai to reach the Squash World Cup final for the first time.
  • Seeded second, India faced a tough task against two-time champions Egypt despite Egypt missing top stars; the 2025 edition in Chennai hosted 12 teams in four groups.
  • National champion Velavan Senthilkumar opened with a clinical 7-1, 7-3, 7-6 win over Ibrahim Elkabbani, Anahat Singh prevailed in five games after an injury timeout, and Abhay Singh sealed the tie in four hard-fought games.
  • Hong Kong advanced after tying Japan 2-2 but winning more games 8-7, and will meet India in the final on Sunday, December 14, 2025; Joshna Chinappa did not contest her match against Nardine Garas.
  • At 17, Anahat Singh, 17-year-old debutant, fuels India’s unbeaten run, which includes dominant 4-0 wins over earlier group-stage opponents and marks the Squash World Cup best-ever appearance.
