Goa (India) duo Pralhad Dhawasker and Anil Shirodkar's continued their winning spree on the second day of the beach volleyball league matches of Lusofonia Games at Miramar beach here today.
The first match featured Goa's favourite beach volleyball players Dhawasker and Shirodkar and Angola's Hildebrando Bastos and Gerson Da Silva Leitao.
Within few minutes after the match began, it was clear that the Goan duo was in no mood to take things easy.
They continued their winning streak by dominating yet again and demolished the Angolan defence 21-14 and 21-13.
Simultaneously, the women's team from Cape Verde was engaged in taking on Angola's women's team. They won comfortably in two straight sets, 21-18 and 21-6.
The next match that followed between Sao Tome and Principe and Guinea Bissau was an exhibition of raw energy.
Amidst power smashes and frantic dives, both the teams battled it out to outplay their opponent.
Finally, Guinea Bissau had to bow down to Sao Tome and Principe, and lost 11-21, 17-21.
Meanwhile, organisers threw open another court in addition to the main competition court and the decision was welcomed with a loud cheer by the spectators, as it meant that more matches could be played in lesser time.
It was then time for sisters representing Goa (India), Danish Dias and Christie Dias to take on their Sri Lankan counterparts, Siriwardana and Nirosha Lakmini Gunasinghe.
The first set of this supremely entertaining battle for supremacy lasted for around 20 minutes, by the end of which the Lankans had got the better of their opponents and won the set 21-11.
