CWG 2022 Highlights Day 1: Indian women's and men's Table Tennis team along with the hockey team began their CWG campaign on a brilliant note with dominating victories. The men's Table Tennis team comprehensively beat Barbados and Singapore 3-0 each in the group-stage tie to assure a place in the quarterfinal. The women's team emulated the same with identical wins against South Africa and Fiji to reach the knockouts as well. Meanwhile, the women's hockey team secured a superb 5-0 win over Ghana in their Pool A opener. India finally ended their opening day on a high as swimmer Srihari Nataraj qualified for the men's 100m backstroke final. But one of the highlight reels was surely 14-year-old squash player Anahat Singh, who grabbed a sensational win in Round of 64 women's singles tie. In boxing, Shiva Thapa won his men's 63.5kg Round of 32 bout against Pakistan's Suleman Baloch. Not a perfect start for Harmanpreet Kaur-led women's cricket team as they lost to Australia in their group-stage opener by three wickets. Taniya Choudhury, however, had a disappointing start in the Lawn Bowls women' singles event, as she faced a 21-10 loss to Scotland's Dee Hoggan.
