Kerala’s Sreekala Rani top scored with 30 points as India crushed Kazakhstan 103-77 to finish fifth in the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup in Shenzhen, China.<\/p>\n

India finished fifth in Division B of the championship. Thailand, which ended India’s hopes of advancing to the final, with a 93-76 win in the semifinals, went on to take third place with a narrow 78-73 win over Mongolia.<\/p>\n

India dominated their game against Kazakhstan, taking a 26-22 lead at the end of the first quarter, before extending it with a commanding second quarter (32-12). The Kazakhs had a better third quarter (26-21), but India bounced back in the final quarter (24-17) to win.<\/p>\n

Two other Malayalis, Aneesha Cleetus and Susan Florentina, contributed to the win.<\/p>\n

Result: India 103 (Sreekala Rani 30, Sanjana Ramesh 19, Pushpa Senthil Kumar 15, Dharshini T 13) bt Kazakhstan 77 (Daria Koroleva 15)<\/p>\n
