Harish, Shikha bag titles

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
CHANDIGARH, Nov 8: Harish Kumar and Shikha Sharma clinched the titles in the men's and women's singles category in the 11th Chandigarh State table tennis championship which concluded at Sector 23 table tennis hall here today. Harish beat Anoop KC in straight games 21-18, 21-16, 21-16 while Shikha beat Barkha KC 21-11, 23-21, 21-16, to wear the women's crown.

In the men's final, Harish's experience enabled him to outplay his opponent Anoop, who fumbled at crucial juncture. Harish with his attacking game pocketed the first game (21-18). The second game was also a repetition of the first. Harish took the lead and maintained it to consolidate the margin (21-16). In the third game, which proved to be the decider, Anoop was more error prone than his rival which helped Harish to win the game (21-16) and wrap up the contest (3-0).

Shikha played cautiously and gradually picked up the pace to overpower Barkha, who had better reach. Though, the eventual winner won the first game (21-16) in no time. She faced stiff resistance from Barkha in the second game (23-21). But in the third game Barkha carved in meekly to her more fancied opponent (16-21).

Barkha, however, paired with Ajay Thakural to claim the mixed doubles title. The duo beat Tarun Akku and Shallu Kapoor 21-15, 13-21, 22-20.
