Shri Modi pointed out that

Bandhu' portal which will

give details about

investment opportunities in

the country's food

India is poised for their third

T20 International series triumph

in five years but would be wary

of a strong fightback from the

usually plucky New Zealand

when the two sides clash in the

second game of the three-

match series in Rajkot on

Saturday. The comprehensive

53-run victory in the series

opener at Delhi has put India

f irmly in the saddle for

sweeping to a winning 2-0 lead

at the Saurashtra Cricket

Kandheri. The resounding

victory, riding on the

exhilarating batting exploits of

their top-order and, in

particular, openers Shikhar

Dhawan and Rohit Sharma,

was the country's first-ever

form of the game. The 2007

World T20 champions have

produced impressive death

while the spinners also pitched

in with some excellent bowling

Quick goals in the first quarter

from Gurjit Kaur (7', 9') and

Navjot Kaur (9') helped India

take a three-goal lead, but

Shisho Tsuji (17') and Yui

Ishibashi (28') scored to

reduce the gap and force a

frenetic second half.

India, however, killed off the

contest with young forward

Lalremsiami scoring the fourth

goal in the 38th minute.

India will take on China on

Sunday's (November 5) final.

Both the finalists are from Pool

A, and in their previous meeting

(on October 31), India beat

China 4-1.

World number one Rafael

Nadal overcame a second-set

blip to reach the Paris Masters

quarter-finals with a 6-3, 6-7

(5/7), 6-3 victory over

Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas.

The Spaniard, 31, had sealed

the year-end number one spot

for a fourth time on Wednesday,

but he was made to work hard

by an enterprising Cuevas.

Nadal is looking for his maiden

title on the Bercy hard courts,

which would take him clear of

Novak Djokovic with a record

31st Masters triumph.

The 16-time Grand Slam

champion will take on world

number 77 Filip Krajinovic in

the quarters, after the Serb

beat Nicolas Mahut 6-2, 3-6,

6-1.

Nadal battles past Cuevas to

reach Paris quarters

"You don't expect to win easy

in big tournaments like these

ones," said Nadal, who had his

right knee strapped after the

second set.

"It's normal that at the end of

the season after all the things

that happened... All the matches

I played with high intensity, it's

normal that there are body

issues a little bit.

"So i t 's nothing strange.

Something that's completely

normal and accepted."

Nadal started far stronger

than he did in Wednesday's

win over Hyeon Chung,

breaking early on thanks

to a couple of trademark

forehands.
