The Indian contingent, who currently sit fourth on the Asian Games medal tally, will hope for another positive outing on Day 14 in Hangzhou, China. While India have already bagged 95 medals, on Saturday they have a chance to win gold in at least four events. The Indian men and women’s kabaddi teams will be in action in their respective gold medal matches. While women have an easier task given their opponents is Chinese Taipei, men’s meet reigning champions Iran.
The men’s cricket team will look to achieve, what the women’s did earlier, and finish the campaign with a gold medal. The Indian unit led by Ruturaj Gaikwad meets Afghanistan, who will be beaming with confidence especially after stunning Pakistan in the semi-final. Meanwhile the star pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, who are already assured of a silver medal, will hope to change the colour to gold.
