While Angad had identical rounds of 24, Maheshwari had 21 and 23, as the duo placed 17th. In fact, there was a shoot-off with teams with the total of 96, and two got eliminated while deciding the top six for the finals.
The Asian champions Rashmmi Rathore and Mairaj Ahmad Khan reached a total of 90 for the 25th spot from among 41 teams. Rashmmi had identical rounds of 21 while Mairaj had two rounds of 24.
