Both exchanged shots of 9.8 and 10.1 against 8.6 and 9.2 before the Australian closed out the gold medal with shots of 9.6, 10.7, 9.3 and 9.2. Well placed at second, Mitharval misplaced his meeting point and shot 7.2 and 7.6 while Shakil Ahmed from Bangladesh launched a strong run with 9.1, 9.5, 9.6 and 8.7 to clinch silver with a total of 220.5.
