In the dead rubber, Scottish Champion Stuart Crawford won a very close first game 12-10 and then went on to take the next two 11-4 11-6 against Marinda Sandhu to complete the clean sweep.

In the other Pool H match, Italy, Scotland’s second round opponents, scored a whitewash 3-0 win over Venezuela.
