Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinki Singh prolonged their unbeaten form in lawn bowls, maintaining records without defeat through their scheduled matches on the day.

The women's wheelchair basketball side endured a significant defeat at the hands of Wales, a loss that ranked among the heavier reversals for India during the day's schedule.
