After securing a medal in boxing, India may add one more medal to tomorrow if PV Sindhu wins her semi-final clash.

That match is slated to take place in the afternoon. Before that, in archery we will have Atanu Das taking part in quarters and of course boxer Amit Panghal making his Olympics debut as well.

Not to forget, Indian athletics’ team will be in action as well with Seem Punia and Kamalpreet Kaur in women’s Discuss throw, their qualifications taking place early morning.

Big day for Rani Rampal and company as well. The women’s hockey team need a big win against South Africa to ensure a QF berth. South Africa have not been able to open their account so far in the competition and hopes are high for Indians to do a thrashing in their last Pool game.
