It was a flawless day for India's boxing contingent at the Commonwealth Games on Wednesday as Narender Berwal joined Ankush Panghal, Sakshi Chaudhary, Arundhati Choudhary and Sachin Siwach in the semifinals, making it five wins out of five bouts for the country on the day. With the five wins on Wednesday, the number of Indian boxers in the semifinals rose to nine as the feat has already eclipsed India's boxing tally from the Birmingham 2022, where the country had finished with seven medals -- three gold, one silver and three bronze.

The five boxers on the day joined Lovlina Borgohain (75kg), Priya Ghanghas (60kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg) and Jadumani Singh (55kg), who have already secured semifinal berths. While Sakshi (51kg) defeated Northern Ireland's Caitlin Fryers 5-0, Arundhati (70kg) had to work hard for her 3-1 win against New Zealand's Morgan Henderson to assure themselves of at least a bronze medal.
