And they have a chance to increase their medal tally even further.

The Indian women's recurve team will aim for a bronze medal on Saturday.

So, India finish the day with two medals from the Antalya World Cup - a silver medal in women's compound team event and a bronze medal in compound mixed team event.

Also, the conditions really helped. During the women's compound team event, it was cloudy and windy, which India found difficult to adjust to.

But now the swirling conditions have disappeared and India made the most of it.

All four archers were stunning in their precision towards the end of the contest. India started well and held the lead throughout.

Belgium, on the other hand, started slowly and got better and better as the match progressed. But since India's level never dipped, Belgium had no chance, despite making a fantastic comeback.

Good evening and welcome to our live coverage.

Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of Compound Mixed Team Bronze Final, live from Antalya Archery World Cup 2018.

India's performance at the 2018 Hyundai Antalya Archery World Cup has been below par this time around, with only the compound women’s team making it to the Gold Finals. India's Divya Dhayal, Muskan Kirar and Jyothi Surekha Vennam will took on archers from Chinese Taipei in this Final. They fought well but failed to clear the final hurdle and lost 228-231. Making it to the Final may still prove to be a boon for the trio as it will give them the much needed confidence for the upcoming Asian Games.

Jyothi Surekha Vennam will be taking centre stage again, but this time in the Compound Mixed Team Bronze Final, alongside Abhishek Verma. The mixed team from India will go up against Belgium in this match. Sarah Prieels and Reginald Kools will be representing Belgium.

Belgium are seeded 13th whereas India are seeded 3rd. India defeated Slovenia in the 2nd round and moved on to the quarters where they faced Netherlands. It was a difficult task to overcome the 6th seed Netherlands, but the Indians were up for it and ultimately won 155-152 in this match. However, they failed to defeat France in the semifinal. The team from France have been on a roll and made huge upsets, defeating 2nd seed USA and 3rd seed India, on their way to the Gold Final.

Belgium, on the other hand faced Japan in the first round and Turkey in the 2nd. They eased past Japan but it was a surprise to see them win against 4th seed Turkey. Next up they faced Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinal and won 156-155. However, they failed to defeat 1st seed Korea in the semis and hence set their place in the Bronze Final.
