Indian archers Sheetal Devi and Payal Nag claimed a silver medal after finishing runners-up in the compound women’s doubles final at the Asian Para Games on Wednesday. The Indian pair were defeated 141-150 by China’s Xu Xueqing and Zhao Jing in the gold-medal clash.

After the opening end, the 19-year-old Indian duo fell behind and struggled to close the gap against their Chinese rivals. Paris Paralympics bronze medalist Sheetal Devi played consistently, landing four 10s. However, Asian Games debutant Payal struggled to replicate that precision, scoring 9s and 8s before concluding her end with a 7.
