Women: Vietnam made sure of the title with a quick win 4-0 over bottom placed Nepal as second placed India A sat out proceedings with the 2-0 bye.India B then had a chance to win second place but fell to Iran 1-3 and that meant third place would be shared between these two teams and the tier-break went in Iran's favour.Of the remaining matches, Indonesia was surprised by Singapore 1.5-2.5 and Sri Lanka well beaten 1-3 by Bangladesh.
