Indian women to face China in Asian Games compound archery gold-medal match
India's women's compound archery team will meet China in the gold-medal match at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The fixture was listed as part of Day 11 live coverage of the Games.
Day 11 coverage opened with India preparing to compete across multiple disciplines after the bulletin noted the team began the session "after winning two gold medals yesterday" and that "several Indian athletes will compete in finals and other medal events." The live updates also recorded that India had "won eight medals on Tuesday." The report identified medal opportunities in archery, squash and wrestling and confirmed Neeru Dhanda would return for mixed-team qualification and team events after winning the women's trap individual gold.
The updates scheduled India to face South Korea in the women's compound team semifinal earlier in the session and reiterated that India enter as defending champions in all compound events. The bulletin said South Korea have strengthened their compound line-up since the discipline became an Olympic event and that the Korean side includes 14-year-old Kang Yeonsoo. The gold-medal match against China was listed as India’s next archery fixture.
In golf, after nine holes Saptak Talwar was joint second at three-under par with a score of 32, having birdied the second, third and fifth holes. Veer Ahlawat was two-over par after nine, shooting 37 following a double bogey on the first, an eagle on the eighth and bogeys on the fourth and ninth. Yuvraj Sandhu carded 34 after three birdies and two bogeys, and the updates noted the golf competition runs for four days with medals decided at the end.
The live feed recorded India’s 4x400m women's relay quartet of Kiran Pahal, Poovamma Machettira, Prachi and Vithya Ramraj winning gold in 3:29.69. That result appeared among the day's track and field outcomes.
The bulletin described a bronze-medal match in which "a nine would have taken the bronze medal match to a tie-break, while a 10 would have secured the medal for Chinese Taipei." It stated Chinese Taipei "manage[d] only an eight with its final shot, allowing South Korea to win the bronze medal."
Other scheduled or ongoing Indian engagements listed in the live coverage included the women's sepaktakraw quadrant group opener against Vietnam, along with action in shooting, boxing, table tennis and squash. Several athletes were noted to be competing in finals and other medal events during Day 11.
India's immediate confirmed next fixture in the live updates is the women's compound team gold-medal match against China on Wednesday, September 30, which will determine the event's gold and silver medal positions.
