After winning the World Cup Stage 1 gold in Antalya last month, the pair carried forward their new-found chemistry and shot with composure to pip the top-seeded Korean team 156-155. India also had success in the individual compound events, as Prathamesh Jawkar won gold, while Avneet Kaur earned bronze.
Jyothi-Ojas and the seasoned Korean pair of Kim Jongho and Oh Yoohyun shot identical 39s out of 40 in each of the first three ends. In the final end, the Koreans cracked under pressure as Deotale and Jyothi came up with a 39 again to seal back-to-back World Cup gold medals.
