The women's high jump final has begun. India have two contenders in this event, with Pooja and Supriya competing for medals.

India were 0-2 down after the first two sets vs Qatar in their preliminary Pool A match. However, after that they executed a superb comeback in the next three sets, as they won them back to back, with all three of them going down to the wire. A superb start for India, and they will hope continue this momentum into the next rounds.

India line up for multiple medals in athletics in the latter half of Day 11. It begins with men's pole vault where Dev Kumar Meena and Kuldeep Kumar will be in action. However, they are not the favourites, with both having the lowest personal bests among all those in the field.

India are not going down without a fight in volleyball. They were trailing in the third set against Qatar, but managed to come back and win it by a margin of 25-23. They have now reduced their deficit to 2-1. They need to win the next two games to register an unreal comeback.

In the second set, India issued a tough challenge for Qatar, and like the first set it too ended in a close margin. However, Qatar won this too by a margin og 27-25, as India trail 0-2 in the match.

Anirudh Chandrasekar and N Sriram Balaji made a winning start to their men’s doubles campaign, beating Nepal’s Abhishek Bastola and Pradip Khadka 6-2, 6-1. After receiving a first-round bye, the Indian pair have comfortably booked their place in the quarterfinals.

Qatar continue to hold a narrow lead in the second set as India trail 15-17. The Indian team will need to find a way back quickly to keep themselves in the contest.

What a missed opportunity for India! They twice had set points in their favour, but Qatar held their nerve when it mattered most. After making a comeback from 23-23 and saving a set point at 24-24, Qatar grabbed the crucial points to take the opening set 28-26 and a 1-0 lead.

A disappointing outing for Shapath Bharadwaj as he becomes the first shooter to be eliminated from the final after hitting seven of 10 targets.
