They lost the first two rounds but made a comeback in the third and fourth rounds to claim the second spot.

India scored 57, 55, 59 and 57 to take their total points to 228 in comparison to Chinese Taipei’s 59, 58, 57 and 57.

Meanwhile, South Korea pulled off a performance to beat hosts Turkey 227-224 and claim the bronze medal.

This is India’s second medal at the World Cups this year after Vennam won bronze in the compound mixed team event with Abhishek Verma in April during the Shanghai World Cup.

With the compound mixed team duo of Abhishek Verma and Vennam playing later in the day, India have a chance of increasing their medal tally when they face Belgium’s Sarah Prieels and Reginald Kools for the bronze medal final.
