India's lawn bowls campaign continued to gather momentum at the Commonwealth Games as Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinki Singh recorded their third consecutive win in the women's pairs event. The Indian duo overcame Tonga in a tie-breaker, a result that strengthened their push toward the semifinals.
The latest victory underlined the consistency shown by the pair so far in the competition. Winning three matches in a row has kept India firmly in contention in the women's pairs draw and added to the growing attention around the country's lawn bowls contingent.
While the women's team delivered another important result, India's men's singles campaign faced a setback. Putul Sonowal suffered his first defeat of the event after a difficult outing, marking a contrast to the momentum built by the women's pairs side.
Even with that loss, India's lawn bowls squad remains one of the noteworthy stories from the Games. The women's pairs team, in particular, has stayed on course for the knockout stage with its unbeaten run and pressure win over Tonga.
