India exit women's wheelchair 3x3 basketball after loss to Nigeria

Glasgow: India suffered a narrow 6-7 loss to Nigeria to bow out of contention for a place in the quarterfinals of the women's wheelchair 3x3 basketball competition at the Commonwealth Games here on Monday.

A spirited effort from Reena Gupta, Ritu Chanu and Minakshi Jadhav notwithstanding, India finished on the wrong end of the result against the Nigerians, who did well to hang on to their slender lead in the final Pool B match.

India had previously lost to Scotland and Wales in the ongoing Games.


After Monday's result, India finished at the bottom of the pool with three consecutive losses in their debut outing at the Games.
