Anshu Malik was dominance personified as she won all her three bouts by technical superiority to breeze into the 57kg title clash, while Manisha will fight for 62kg bronze at the Asian Championship here on Friday.

Anshu began with a win over Uzbekistan's Shokhida Akhmedova and followed that up with another dominating victory against Singapore's Danielle Sue Ching Lim. She overpowered Mongolia's Bolortuya Khurelkhuu in the semi-finals.

Easy take-downs and push-out points meant that the last-four stage bout ended in just two minutes and 12 seconds. Manisha lost her semis in just 40 seconds to Japan's Nonoka Ozaki to bow out of gold medal race.
