The young Indian duo fought hard, as did their teammates, but it wa not meant to be. Malaysia, who had to India in 2018, reverse the result and are the 2022 commonwealth Games champions!

A silver in not what the Indian side was hoping for, but even in the 1-4 defeat , there were some great positives for the Indian contingent to take into the individual competition — which starts tomorrow!

Keep following Sportskeeda for minute-to-minute coverage from Birmingham. For now it is goodbye and goodnight!

Gayatri/Treesa fights till the last but it’s the 🇲🇾 duo which comes out on top.
