India women’s hockey team taking on hosts England in their pool match at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games on Tuesday headlines day five of action of the multi-national event.
Manpreet Singh’s India were held to a 4-4 draw by England in the men’s encounter on Monday, and the Indian women would hope to do one better than that with a win.
Also in action will be Saurav Ghoshal in the men’s singles squash competition semi-finals later in the evening.
Another athlete who could catch the eye of many is boxer Rohit Tokas, who will be taking part in the men’s welterweight round of 16 competition in the evening, towards the end of day.
Swimmers Srihari Nataraj (men’s 200m backstroke) and Kushagra Rawat (150m freestyle) will be in action as well.
The India women’s lawn bowls team on Monday ensured a historic first medal, beating New Zealand 16-13 in the semi-finals of the women’s fours event, and will take on South Africa in the gold medal match on Tuesday. So, that is also another event to keep a close eye on.
