India’s Niki Poonacha took his match against a youthful Muhammad Shoaib 6-3, 6-4, winning in 64 minutes.
The twelve winning nations from the World Group I play-offs will play a World Group I tie in September, while the same number of losing nations will contest a World Group II tie, also in September.
