Hello and welcome to International Business Times, India's coverage of the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia.

Here is a recap of India's exploits on day seven of the games so far:

Indian boxer Mary Kom cruised into the final of the 48kg women's boxing event by scoring a unanimous points victory over Sri Lanka's Anusha Dilrushi Koddithuwakku. The 2012 Olympic bronze medalist will face Wales's Kristina O'Hara in the gold medal bout.
