In wushu, India's Naorem Roshibina Devi, who won bronze in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, will play the women’s 60kg final early on Thursday morning. This means she has already assured India of a silver medal and will be gunning for gold.
Meanwhile, after a lot of stuttering, the Indian men’s football team have made it to the round of 16 and will take on Saudi Arabia in their first knock-out match of the Asiad. Elsewhere, the men's hockey team will take on Japan, who beat India at the summit clash in the last edition of the Asiad.
