On the final day of the tournament on Thursday, two Indian teams were in contention for podium finishes.
 
The U-16 team lost the semi-final Play-off against France after two close sets. They, however, became the first Indian side to advance this far in the 
competition.

The U-31 team, playing in the ‘Board A Match’ event, finished third among 24 competing sides to win the bronze medal. The Indian U-21 and U-26 teams did not make it to the top eight.
