Turkiye-Red wins Gold with a round to spare, set to face India in the final round
India needed a strong comeback after their second setback of the event in the seventh round. That is exactly what they achieved. A dominating victory over Kyrgyzstan. Now the momentum needs to be carried in the last round against Turkiye-Red who also did a whitewash in the previous round to clinch the Gold. The final round clash on the top is going to be an exciting one.
