The Asian Games is entering its final weekend, and India have another packed day ahead as athletes across multiple disciplines chase medals before the October 4 closing ceremony.

Saturday’s schedule gets underway with the concluding rounds of golf before the focus shifts to a host of other sports, including archery, taekwondo, wrestling, sailing, rugby sevens and volleyball. With the medal count still capable of changing significantly, India will have several opportunities to add to their tally.

Wrestling will be one of the key areas to watch. Aman Sehrawat, Sagar Jaglan, Deepak Punia, Antim Panghal and Manisha Bhanwala are all in action, with some of India’s wrestlers potentially progressing to medal contests as the day unfolds.

The biggest team events will also command plenty of attention.

At 10 AM, India take on Pakistan in the men’s cricket gold-medal match, with the two sides battling for the top prize.

The hockey team will then take centre stage at 3:30 PM, when India face Malaysia in the medal round. There will also be medal hopes in archery and taekwondo, adding to what promises to be a hectic day for the Indian contingent.

With only a couple of days left before the Games conclude, Saturday could prove crucial for India as the athletes look to finish the campaign on a strong note.
