India will hope for another fruitful outing on Day 2 of the ongoing Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. The women’s cricket team, who are assured of a medal, will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the gold medal match. Apart from cricket there are plenty other Indian athletes, who will be competing in other medal events, which are lined-up throughout the day.
If we take a look at the Indian paddlers, both men’s and women’s team are no longer in fray for a medal, but fans will witness mixed-team action with Manika Batra pairing with G Sathiyan.
India had a decent outing on the opening day of the continental showdown with rowers and shooters combining to clinch five medals. India bagged three silvers, with the trio of Ramita, Mehuli Ghosh and Ashi Chouksey clinching silver in the women’s 10m air rifle event to open India’s account. Arjun Lal Jat and Arvind then added another silver in men’s lightweight double sculls. The men’s eight team then added another silver to India’s tally while Babu Lal Yadav and Lekh Ram secured bronze in the men’s pair. Ramita also grabbed an individual gold in the women’s 10m air rifle final, securing a bronze to take the overall tally to 5.
