Muttiah who  had a tough semi-final clash against Na Li of China found Bhatha an  easier hurdle to clear.      Sri Lanka’s boys’ doubles pair of Amresh Jayawickrema  and Vimuktha de Alwis brought honour to the country when they defeated  their opponents from India in an exciting finish. The second saw the  Lankan pair leading on 5/2 but the set had to be decided on the tie  breaker as the scores reached 6/all in the set. The tie breaker was  closely fought out and the Lankan pair won the last two points in a  nervous finish.      Results: (finals)       Girls: Singles: Amritha Muttiah (Sri)  beat Ankita Bhatha (Ind)  6/1, 6/1.      Doubles: Na Li and Qinq Yi Liu (Chi)  beat Amritha Muttiah (Sri) and Ekaterina Klyneva (Rus) 7/5, 4/6, 10/8.      Boys: Singles: Yu-Jin Juong (Kor) beat  Niranjan Ram (Ind)  6/7(2), 6/1, 6/1.      Doubles: Amresh Jayawickrema and  Vimuktha de Alwis (Sri) beat Manab Kumar Chakma and Maninder Singh (Ind) 6/1, 7/6(6).</blockquote>
