Squash finals headline the midday session
The clearest appointment viewing comes at 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm. Abhay Singh first meets Malaysia’s Ng Eain Yow for the men’s singles title. Anahat Singh then faces Malaysian star Sivasangari Subramaniam in the women’s final. Both matches guarantee India a medal, with gold at stake in each contest.
Athletics takes over the evening
The busiest viewing window begins around 3:25 pm. Ancy Sojan and Shaili Singh provide a two-athlete challenge in the women’s long jump before the sprint and high-jump finals begin. Animesh Kujur is the Indian entrant in the men’s 200m, while Sarvesh Kushare and J Aadarsh Ram compete in the men’s high jump.
Tejaswin Shankar is another athlete to track throughout the day as the decathlon concludes with the javelin and 1500m. The evening’s last individual medal opportunity for India comes in the women’s 3000m steeplechase, where Parul Chaudhary and Ankita Dhyani are scheduled to start.
Boxing and hockey add knockout pressure
Four Indian boxers contest quarterfinals, meaning victories would secure progression into the medal rounds. The bouts are distributed across the day, starting with Ankush at 9:45 am and ending with heavyweight Narender at 3:45 pm.
At 3:30 pm, India’s women’s hockey team faces Singapore in its final Pool B fixture. The match overlaps with the start of the athletics medal session, so viewers using the streaming service may need to switch between dedicated feeds.
