Indian cueists Pankaj Advani and Aditya Mehta held their nerves to see off the challenge from Belgium 3-2 in the team championships on the second day of the Snooker World Cup in Bangkok today.
India began with a loss with seven-time world champion Advani going down to Luca Brecel before Asian Games bronze medallist Aditya Mehta beat Bjorn Haneveer to draw level.
The Belgians won the doubles, but singles wins by Mehta and Advani sealed the issue for India in Group C.
Yesterday, India lost 1-4 against Northern Ireland with only Aditya being able to win the final frame against Gerard Greene at the Bangkok Convention Centre.
While Advani lost both his singles encounters, India also failed to put up a fight in the doubles against the pairing of Greene and Mark Allen.
India will next play another Group C rival England on Thursday.
