Ima Sumaya beats Quimcy Dsouza to reach Asian Games teqball final

India's Quimcy Dsouza, 24, was beaten by Indonesia's Ima Sumaya in the women's singles teqball semi-final at the Asian Games 2026 on September 19, 2026, with Sumaya taking the deciding set 12-7 and Dsouza now set to contest the bronze medal match on Sunday.

Dsouza began the match firmly on the front foot, opening the first set with a 5-1 lead and extending that advantage to 8-2 as the set was played to 12 points; that early dominance left her within four points of closing out the opening set.

After losing the first set, Sumaya responded at the start of the second, moving ahead 2-0 before the contest tightened; Dsouza rallied from an early deficit to make it 8-7, but Sumaya closed the second set 12-9 to level the match at one set apiece.

The third and deciding set saw Dsouza take an early 4-1 lead, but she was unable to sustain that momentum as Sumaya mounted a comeback and ultimately won the set 12-7 to secure her place in the women's singles final.

The result ends Dsouza's run in the semi-finals and hands Sumaya progression to the gold-medal match; the Indian athlete has been confirmed to play in the bronze medal match on Sunday.
