In the semi-final match held earlier today, Bhavina beat World No:3 Zhang Miao of China with a score of 3-2. She will now face World No:1 Ying Zhou of China tomorrow in the Gold Medal match. Bhavina now became the first Indian Table Tennis player to qualify for the finals of the Paralympics.
If Bhavina secures a Gold Medal, she will become the first Indian woman to clinch a gold in either Olympics and Paralympics. The entire country is hoping for her victory tomorrow so that she can make history and inspire millions of women in India.
