Rest expose Thais8217; weaknesses

The hosts clearly undermined the opposition and paid the penalty. At the breather, India could manage just a two-point lead, 21-19. However, they made amends to the game-plan and held a firm control over the proceedings in the later part of the match.

For Thailand, Sathit Suanjan and Nivech Tunsomask excelled in riding while T Kochasa and Wichan defended well.

V Srinivas Rao, who represents Major Ports, scored the crucial lona in the early second-half and from there, Rest never looked back. Palani of Tamil Nadu also excelled in riding while captain Trinatha Rao and Srinu were the backbone inthe defence.
