A power-packed display by reigning champions India saw them thrash Australia 3-0 and set-up a title clash with mighty Singapore in the men's team event of the 17th Commonwealth Table Tennis Championship in Jaipur on Friday.

The women's team, however, went down 0-3 to top seed Singapore and their title hopes were dashed. They will now have to fight for the third place against Australia.

In men's event, Singapore topped the group 'E' by beating Scotland 3-0 and the summit clash will be a repeat of the Commonwealth Games final in Melbourne last year where India had pulled off a major upset to win the gold.

Australia and Nigeria will clash for the third place.

The men's team impressed with their spirited display in their last group F match.

Australian did a gamble by playing Kiet Song Tran in first singles but could not get the desired result.

Shubhajit Saha beat Song 11-8, 8-11, 11-3, 11-6 to give India 1-0 lead.

Sharath Kamal was up against world number 101 William Henzell whom he beat in the Commonwealth Games final to win the bronze.

But as Sharath had to struggle in Melbourne last year, the Indian ace was all fired up against Henzel this time and unsettled the Australian right from the word go.

Sharath mixed his serves well and did now allow Henzell to engage him into rallies. Fast and crisp, Sharath raced to a 11-5, 11-8, 11-6 win to give his team a 2-0 lead.

Soumyadeep Roy faltered a bit but ultimately clinched the issue with a fighting 12-10, 12-5, 8-11, 6-11, 11-7 win over Kyle Davis.
