Mumbai (Maharashtra)[India], May 4 (ANI): CCI A will take on surprise package BKLKP in the Elite Group final of the Motiram Cup Inter-Club Badminton Championships for men, organised by GMBA and hosted by Willingdon SC, at their premises. In the semi-finals on Saturday, while CCI A rallied after losing the first rubber to defeat Chembur Gym 2-1, BKLKP also overcame a poor start to get the better of MIG Cricket Club 2-1.
The Ullal Cup final for women will feature Khar Gym against Chembur Gym. While Khar Gym got past CCI 2-1, Chembur Gym maintained its form to defeat GSC 2-1.
However, the juniors ensured that GSC remained in the title race, entering the Kanji Cup final, where they will take on Chembur Gym for top honours.
The Motiram Cup Elite Group semi-finals saw both matches going the distance. After Harsh Jhaveri and Zarir Warden lost the opener to Aman Farogh and Suyog Lokhande of Chembur Gym 18-21, 17-21, it seemed curtains for CCI after Nigel D’Sa lost the first game to Parthive Nair in the singles encounter. However, Nigel brought all his experience to the fore to win the next two games and the match 14-21, 21-8, 21-15, before Siddhesh Aroskar and Amey Joshi came on court to defeat Amey Joshi and Parthive Nair in straight game and seal the tie for CCI.
Soham Pathak did the star turn for BKLKP, winning his singles encounter and then partnering with Anmaol Behrani to win the deciding doubles encounter and the match against MIG.
