Arundhati made the brighter start, using her movement well and landing a big, confidence-boosting punch midway through the opening round. Henderson responded strongly in the closing moments, finding success with her right hand and finishing the round with real momentum.

It was a tight and competitive three minutes, but the judges have edged it 3-2 in favour of Arundhati, giving the Indian boxer an early lead in this crucial medal-deciding bout.

Morgan Henderson came out aggressively in the second round and landed a couple of early hooks, but the contest soon turned scrappy and physical. Arundhati adopted a smart tactical approach, focusing more on movement, evasion, and tying up her opponent rather than engaging in unnecessary exchanges.

The Indian boxer also did a good job of frustrating Henderson by repeatedly denying her clean punching opportunities.

The broadcast cut to advertisements before the scores were shown, but once coverage returned, it was confirmed that four of the five judges awarded the round to Arundhati, leaving her just one round away from a guaranteed Commonwealth Games medal.
