Meanwhile, Pakistan is also banking on a medal in shooting, after Usman Chand scored an impressive 49 playing two rounds on day one (Sunday) of the men’s Skeet category to keep himself placed 5th.

He has to play three more rounds on day two of championship on Monday, and if he manages to remain among the top six then he will play the final round with very good chances of winning a medal for his country.
