The Indian men's recurve and women's compound team reached the final of their respective events at the 2025 Asian Archery Championships in Dhaka, Bangladesh on Monday.
Comprising of the experienced Atanu Das, Rahul, and Yashdeep Bhoge, the Indian men's recurve archery team beat Kazakhstan 5-3 in the semi-finals.
In what was a closely fought battle with a spot in the final on the line, India started well by winning the first set. The second set ended with a tie before Kazakhstan equalised by winning the third set.
With the win slowly slipping away, India got their act together to win the fourth set 57-52 to win the match and set up the title clash with heavyweights South Korea.
Meanwhile, the Indian women's compound team of Deepshika, Prithika Pradeep, and veteran Jyothi Surekha Vennam pipped hosts Bangladesh 234-227 in the semi-finals.
The Indians took a four-point lead at the end of the first set and then kept building on that momentum to cruise into the final. They will also face the team from South Korea in the final on Thursday.
