Chess, Round 9: The Indian men’s and women’s teams win a silver each. The men registered an outright win over Phillipines with Vidit, Arjun, and Harikrishna winning their matches, even as Praggnanandhaa continues to play his game. The result of Pragg’s match won’t change the result for India.
The women, on the other hand, defeated Vietnam 4-0 with Harika, Vanitka, Savitashri, and Vaishali all winning their matches.

🥈for Deepak Punia
The Indian goes down 0-10 on technical superiority to Iran's Hassan Yazadani in the men's 86kg semi-final.
Blog: https://t.co/3UALqqlTJj pic.twitter.com/uXCXxnubbj
Wrestling, Men’s 86kg Final: As expected, the Iranian proves to be just too good for Deepak Punia. The Indian barely survived the first period and was 0-8 down at the sound of the whistle. It was just a matter of time then as Punia went down 0-10 on technical superiority just moments after the break. Nonetheless, it is a silver medal for Deepak Punia - the best finish in this edition of Asian Games for an Indian grappler.
Wrestling, Men’s 86kg Final: The only Indian to reach a gold medal bout in wrestling at Hangzhou - Deepak Punia, has a tough task ahead of him. He is up against Hassan Yazadanicharati - one of the greatest of all time. The Irnaian is a three-time world champion in 86kg and is also the reigning Olympic silver medallist in the category. Yazadani had also won the Olympic gold in 74kg back in the 2016 Rio Games.

Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: This match continues! The International Kabaddi Federation rule has been applied (the old rule). India now up 31-29 and play continues with 65 seconds left.

Cricket, IND v AFG, final: Indian men’s cricket team win gold!
Match abandoned as it continued to rain in Hangzhou. On account of being the higher seeds, the gold has been awarded to India. Unfortunate for Afghanistan who had a great campaign and had recovered after the partnership between Naib and Kamal. However, it wasn’t meant to be.
Tempers continue to flair, but in this indoor hall (with the air-conditioning on) the #kabaddi players would have started to cool down. Will they be given time to warm-up again before continuing the last 65 seconds of play?

🥇FOR SATWIK/CHIRAG
They beat South Korea's Choi Solgyu and Kim Wonho in the final to pocket India's first-ever men's doubles gold at the Asiad😍
Blog: https://t.co/3UALqqlTJj pic.twitter.com/SlJTEo828F
Badminton, Men’s Doubles Final: Satwik/Chirag are the Asian Games champions. They are the first-ever Indian men’s doubles pair to pocket gold at Asiad. A huge group hug between the shuttlers and coaches Matias Boe and Pullela Gopichand before the jersey comes off for Chirag. The organisers blast out the inconic Dangal song and out comes Satwik’s dance moves. GOLD FOR INDIA!
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: The old rule is applied! India given three points and Iran given 1. And this comes just minutes after the referees had made a decision to give both teams one point each (new rule). And still just one minute to play. India up 31-29 now. But the discussion continues...
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: It is still officially 28-28, but the action has now shifted off court. There is a lot of discussion based on a technicality of which rule is being applied - new or old. Pawan went into the lobby without a touch, but all 5 Iranians followed him. New rule declares Pawan out. Old rule declares Pawan and all the Iranians who followed out.
Badminton, Men’s Doubles Final: This is all very comfortable for Satwik/Chirag at the moment as they race to an 11-7 lead in the second game. They have outplayed the Koreans completely so far and are within touching distance of a gold medal.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: We are level again. 28-28 with under three minutes to go.
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: Rain stops play with Afghanistan batting at 112/5 in 18.2 overs.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: Five minutes of play left now. India lead 28-25.
Badminton, Men’s Doubles Final: The Indians turn the heat up post the mid-game interval to draw level at 13-13. There is yet another switch in momentum as Kim Wonho and Choi Solgyu open up an 18-16 lead. Satwik/Chirag, however, fight back brilliantly to equalise at 18-18 and then take the first game 21-18. Kim Wonho was even shown a card by the umpire during that phase of play.
Right then, the Indians on top at the moment - they are just a game away from a historic gold.
Hockey, women’s bronze medal match, India vs Japan: After a disappointing loss to China in the semi-final, the Indian women’s hockey team will look to bounce back and clinch bronze when they face Japan today. Both India and Japan topped their Pools but lost to China and South Korea respectively in the semi-finals. While India lost 4-0, Japan lost 3-2 on shoot-outs after their match ended 2-2.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: Iran get the all-out and are level again. 25-25 between India and Iran.
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: Fifty-run partnership between Gulbadin Naib and Shahidullah Kamal! Extremely important partnership after India dented the chase early on. AFG 109/5 (18)
Canoe Slalom, Men’s Kayak Final: Hemant Kewat finishes in seventh place with a timing of 128.34.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: India’s raiders are slowly plucking away at Iran’s defenders. The Indians lead 21-16 after five minutes of the second half.
Sport Climbing, Women’s Boulder and Lead Sem-final - Lead: Saniya Shaikh and Shivani Charak finish 14th and 15th respectively in lead. While Shaikh pocketed 9 points, Charak had 8.
The duo, however, fails to qualify for final. Shaikh is placed 14th in the overall standings, while Charak occupies the 15th spot. Only the top eight move to the medal round.
Badminton, Men’s Doubles Final: Not the best of starts for Satwik/Chirag but they are still within the touching distance of the Koreans. The Indians trail 9-11 in the first game.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: India with a strong comeback in this match. At the stroke of halftime, they get the all-out to go 17-13 up at the break.
Badminton, Men’s Doubles Final: The contest is underway between Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty and Choi Solgyu/Kim Wonho. The Indians have a 3-2 lead currently.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: For the first time in this match, India is in the lead. India up 13-12 after that big tackle from Aslam Inamdar.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: It’s getting tight, it’s getting feisty. The refereeing though has not been impressive, which is simply pushing emotions. Iran lead 10-9 with just under five minutes left of the first half.
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: WICKETS! Ravi Bishnoi and Shahbaz Ahmed ensure half the Afghan batting line-up is back in the hut. Bishnoi clean bowls Afsar Zazai to end the partnership while Ahmed sends back new batter Karim Janat for 1. AFG 53/5 (11)
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: Iran the better team so far, in terms of both raiding and defending. They lead 10-6 against India midway through the first half.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: Nothing between the two teams after five minutes of play. India and Iran are at 4-4.
Kabaddi, men’s final, IND vs IRI: Here’s the big one. The repeat of the semi-final from 2018, where India lost the chance to win yet another gold medal.
Now the Indian men’s team meets Iran in the final for a third time at the Asian Games, and for the first time, as challengers.
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: WICKET! Not the start you would want in a final. Afghanistan lose their third as Noor Ali departs. A needless second run and Ravi Bishnoi throws it back to the keeper’s end to run him out. AFG 13/3 (3.2)
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: WICKET! Mohammad Shahzad departs. Arshdeep Singh causes him to edge and Jitesh Sharma takes a clean catch behind the stumps. AFG 9/2 (2.5)
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: WICKET! Shivam Dube with a breakthrough early on. Zubaid Akbari mistimes it immediately after a four and must depart for 5. AFG 5/1 (1.3)
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: India XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Tilak Varma, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma(w), Shahbaz Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Arshdeep Singh
AFG XI: Zubaid Akbari, Mohammad Shahzad(w), Noor Ali Zadran, Shahidullah Kamal, Afsar Zazai, Karim Janat, Gulbadin Naib(c), Sharafuddin Ashraf, Qais Ahmad, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Zahir Khan
Cricket, IND v AFG, final: India win the toss and opt to bowl first.
As India and Afghanistan compete for the gold medal, the Indian men will try to replicate the success of the women who won gold earlier. However, they are facing a strong Afghan challenge, particularly in their spin duo of Qais Ahmed and Zahir Khan. On their mighty route to the final, Afghanistan defeated Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Can we expect them to pull off a surprise?
Cricket, IND v AFG: The toss for the final is delayed due to wet outfield.
Badminton, men’s doubles final: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have already confirmed that they will be the new world No 1 doubles team when the rankings are updated next week. But can they get to that top spot on the back of a gold medal? They take on South Korea’s Choi Sol Gyu and Kim Won Ho in the final. It is estimated to start at 12.10 pm IST.
Cricket, BAN v PAK: Bangladesh win the bronze medal as they defeat Pakistan by 6 wickets. India and Afghanistan will fight for gold shortly.
Volleyball, Women’s 9th-10th Classification: India beat Hong Kong 3-2 to finish 9th in the overall classification standings.

It's another 1-2 for India with Ojas Pravin Deotale winning gold and Abhishek Verma winning silver in the men's compound individual event. https://t.co/3UALqqlTJj pic.twitter.com/btuTHcbHDQ
Archery: AND IT’S OJAS’ THIRD GOLD IN HANGZHOU AS WELL! The world champion shoots a perfect score in the final end and secures that gold medal, despite Abhishek also shooting a perfect score. This was brilliant shooting from both Indians who are all smiles and raise their hands for the crowd in celebration as it’s an Indian 1-2 in the men’s compound individual event.
Kabaddi, women’s final, IND vs TPE: After a close start, the Indian women’s team has started to assert themselves a bit more. They take a 14-9 lead into the halftime break against Chinese Taipei in this women’s final.
Archery: An uncharacteristic miss from Ojas who shoots 9 in the fourth end while Abhishek gets a perfect score, but trails by two points. Ojas already has the Games record in the men’s compound individual event with 150 points, from the semi-final.
Archery: Ojas continues to maintain his incredible consistency while Abhishek berates himself after shooting an 8 and a 9 in the third end and now trails by three points. Ojas 90-87 Abhishek
Archery: A small blip from Abhishek Verma in his third arrow and Ojas Pravin Deotale leads by one point after the second end. Ojas 60-59 Abhishek
Archery: Both archers showing off their incredible calibre, starting off with perfect scores for both Ojas Deotale and Abhishek Verma in the first end.
Kabaddi, women’s final, IND vs TPE: Just over halfway through the first half, and there’s nothing to separate India and Chinese Taipei. Both teams are at 5-5 in the women’s final.
Kabaddi, women’s final, IND vs TPE: In the women’s kabaddi final, India take on the team that had given them an almighty scare earlier in the campaign - in that gripping 34-34 draw - Chinese Taipei. The team from East Asia beat defending champions Iran in the semi-final.
This will not be an easy match.
Kabaddi: Two big games coming up for India. After the men’s and women’s teams failed to win gold in Jakarta 2018, they’re both now a win away from reclaiming that throne. The women’s team plays Chinese Taipei in the final while the men face Iran.
Archery: AND IT’S JYOTHI’S THIRD GOLD IN HANGZHOU! The Indian archer is simply phenomenal in the final end, shooting a perfect score and So Chaewon can do nothing with the gap at four points.
Jyothi has now won gold in all the compound events at the 19th Asian Games and later on, her teammate in the mixed event, Ojas Pravin Deotale could do the same.
Deotale will face off against his compatriot and more experienced archer in Abhishek Verma in the men’s compound individual gold medal match.

Jyothi Surekha Vennam strikes gold again, this time in the women's compound individual event after securing the mixed team and women's team golds.https://t.co/3UALqqmryR pic.twitter.com/JI4zJqmdWb
Archery: Jyothi is all smiles and a sigh of relief as she walks back to her coach, shooting a perfect score in the fourth end with So Chaewon shooting a 9 to now trail by 3 points.
Archery: Much better from the Indian who shoots perfect scores in both the second and third end, while So Chaewon shoots an 8 in the second end and 9 in the third end to now trail by two points. Jyothi 89-87 So Chaewon
Archery: Not a good start for Jyothi who shoots an 8 in her opening arrow. So Chaewon shoots a perfect score and the Indian trails by 2 points after the first end.
Archery: She’s won gold with Ojas Pravin Deotale in the mixed compound team event. She’s won gold with Aditi and Parneet Kaur in the women’s team event. Can Jyothi Surekha Vennam beat South Korea’s So Chaewon to win gold in the individual event?
Archery: The double world champion Aditi Swami makes no mistake as she shoots a 9 and two 10s to secure that six-point lead and beat Fadhly to win bronze in the women’s compound individual event.

Archery: The rain may be coming down now, but it hasn’t deterred Aditi or Fadhly who both shoot perfect scores, the lead still remaining at 6 points after four ends.
Archery: Aditi hasn’t been the most consistent today, but neither is her opponent who shoots two 8s in the second end and 9s in the third end. Aditi leads 87-81 after the third end.
Archery: A good start for Aditi Swami who shoots a 9 in her final arrow but the Indonesian gets all 9s and trails by 2 points.
Archery: The penultimate day for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou begins for India with the compound archers, who have been having an incredible time at the competition. In the women’s individual event, Jyothi Surekha Vennam will be up against So Chaewon of South Korea in the final.
