The duo scored a total of 527 points, 47 behind the Indonesian pair of Ni Made Dwiyanti and Ayu Wilantari Sidan, who clinched the gold.

Saowanee Chanthamunee and Oraya Choosuwan of Thailand won the silver, while the bronze medal went to the pair of Nor Hamizah Abu Hassan and Nur Syazreeb A Malik from Malaysia.

Last week, Naorem Boynao Singh had crashed out in the quarterfinals of the men's 50-55 kg event.
