Pakistan's Mansoor Zaman and India's Joshna Chinappa successfully defended their squash titles in the South Asian Games at the Gymkhana Club in Sri Lanka's largest city Colombo.
Left-hander Zaman, the world No28 from Peshawar, faced 16-year-old compatriot Aamir Atlas Khan in the final after both players beat 3/4 seeds from India - Harinder Pal Sandhu and Gaurav Nandrajog, respectively - in the semi-finals.
Second seed Khan shocked his more experienced top-seeded opponent by taking a 2/1 lead in the final - but Zaman regained his composure to win 9-5, 7-9, 4-9, 9-2, 9-0 to retain the title he won two years ago in Islamabad, in his home country.
In the women's final, 19-year-old Joshna Chinappa from Chennai took on 14-year-old rising star Dipika Pallikal, also from Chennai. The two top-seeded Indians had overcome their anticipated opponents - Sri Lankan 3/4 seeds, sisters Tehani Guruge and Nirasha Guruge - in the previous round.
Favourite Chinappa was too strong for Pallikal in the final, winning 9-6, 9-6, 9-1.
