In the first singles rubber of the tie against India, Hussain lost to Durai Mariappan 6-0, 6-0 but in the second singles match Abbasi outplayed Sathasivam Kannupayan 6-0, 6-0, to level the tie 1-1 and pushing it to be decided on the doubles rubber.

Hussain and Abbasi defeated Indian doubles players 4-6, 7-5, 10-3 to seal the 2-1 win in the tie.

The qualification event is featuring teams from Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe, as they will want to book one of the four spots in men’s event as the World Team Cup, which will take place from May 2 in Portugal.
