After 13 days of action packed sporting extravaganza, we finally come to the end of the Asian event with all to play for on day 14. Several Indian bridge competitors will be in action, eyeing another medal after bagging bronze in team events. Indian women’s squash team created a big upset by beating the overwhelming favourites Malaysia who had the likes of world number 9 Nicol David and Sivasangari Subramaniam. They will be the favourites to win another gold medal for the country.
After losing to a tricky Malaysia in men’s hockey semi-final, Indian men’s hockey team will be looking to end their campaign on a high by beating arch-rivals Pakistan in men’s hockey bronze medal match. Interestingly, Malaysia and Japan will be competing in men’s gold medal match, we are talking about two teams who do not have a great legacy in hockey especially Japan.
India had there best gold medals tally way back in 1951 Delhi Asian Games with 15 gold medals and they currently sit at 13 gold which can be increased and the previous record can be broken.
