India's Jyothi Surekha Vennam will fight for Gold in the individual event of Women's Compound Archery. Jyothi, the top seed at the event, defeated World Champion and compatriot Aditi Swami, the 17-year-old, in an all-Indian semifinal to assure India of at least a silver medal at the Asian Games.

While Jyothi was trailing Aditi by a point before the final series, Aditi shot a 7 during the final 3 arrows which saw her fall behind. And Jyothi shot the perfect 10 in each of her three to progress into the final after winning the match 149-146.

Aditi Swami will now fight for a medal in the bronze medal match while Jyothi Surekha will be hoping to bring home the Gold come finals day.
