As Day 7 of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games progresses, India will be looking to continue what has been a good run in the competition so far. Next event is Badminton Women's Singles Round of 32.
India will be represented by Saina Nehwal who will be taking on Elsie De Villiers of South Africa. Saina has had a phenomenal run in the Commonwealth Games 2018 so far and has already bagged a gold medal as part of the Mixed Team. India won the Mixed Team Event beating Malaysia 3-1 overall in the finals. Saina beat Soniia Cheah of Malaysia in the final of the Mixed Team event 2 games to 1 and this proved to be vital for the Mixed Team. She will aim to continue the positive start as she gets ready to participate in the Women's Singles Round of 32.
Saina Nehwal also has much more experience than the South African and this should be an easy win for her.
Day 6 did not bring too many medals for India. However, it did bring progression as many Indian athletes find themselves in potential medal positions. Heena Sidhu claimed the only gold for India on Day 6 in the Women's 25m Pistol. The Indian Men's & Women's Hockey team both qualified for the Semifinals.
India will be hoping Day 7 of the Commonwealth Games 2018 is just as successful as the previous days.
