Bopanna and Balaji defeated the Uzbek pair of Farrukh Dustov and Sanjar Fayziev 6-2 6-4 6-1 in the doubles rubber at the KSLTA stadium.
Ramkumar Ramanathan and debutant Prajnesh Gunneswaran had handed India a comfortable 2-0 lead yesterday by winning their singles against Temur Ismailov and Fayziev respectively.
Tomorrow's reverse singles now will have no bearing on the outcome of the tie and will be the best of three sets.
India have qualified for the World Group Play-offs, to be held in September and their next opponents will be known later.
