Bengal's Under-19 girls bowed out of the team event of the 85th UTT Inter-State Youth and Junior National Table Tennis Championships at Netaji Indoor Stadium on Sunday.

The hosts, one of the pre-tournament favourites, lost to Delhi 3-0 in the quarter finals.

After Lakshita Narang gave Delhi the lead, beating Saanvi Roy 8-11, 11-7, 11-9, 11-5, Vanshika Mudgal won the crucial second rubber against Syndrela Das 3-2.

Vanshika countered well against the tricky Syndrela, who matched the Delhi girl stroke for stroke and kept her hopes alive until the fourth game when she tied 2-2.

In the decider, Syndrela had her chance after deuce, but Vanshika claimed the last two crucial points to put Delhi 2-0 up.

Riddhima Kapoor, with a nice cushion, ran through the third rubber quickly to beat Nandini Saha 11-3, 11-8, 11-9, ensuring her team of at least a bronze medal.
