Twenty-eight archers from ten countries participated in the archery competition. [6] However, Great Britain took the majority of the medals, medaling in every single event. The VI1 final was between Belgian Reuben Vanhollebeke and Great Britain's Clive Jones with Vanhollebeke taking the gold. The bronze went to Loredana Ruisi of Italy who beat Uganda's Tumisiime Gad Rauben. Four out of the 6 medals in the VI2/3 and VI Open finals went to British archers.

In the VI Open, Terry Piper (GB) took gold with silver going to Andrea Thomas (GB). Great Britain's Debora Wright took bronze. [7] [8]

[9] Medals were awarded for the best individual results in the tournament, the best individual results by women, and the best combined results of two-player teams from each country. [10] The individual gold medal was won by Dacian Pribeanu of Romania; [10] [11] Axadxon Kimsanboyev of Uzbekistan took silver, [12] and Zoltán Zámbó of Hungary took bronze.

Cricket

The 2023 Games was the first to include cricket and featured both a men's and women's competition. [14] England, Australia and India all sent both men's and women's teams to the Games. [14] [15] [16] This tournament marks the debut of the Australian women's team at international level. [16] Despite having an active women's team, Pakistan only sent their men's team due to funding limitations. [17] Bangladesh made up the last of the men's teams competing in the 2023 Games. [18]

India women secured their place in the final, by comfortably winning their first 3 games. Pakistan qualified for the men's final by winning all 4 of their group games. India men made the semi-final by winning three of their 4 games, only losing to Pakistan. [19] [20] Australia took the other place in the women's final with a higher net run rate than England. [21]

In the women's final, Australia batted first and set a score off 114/8 for 20 overs. Rain stopped play which left India with a revised target of 42 runs which they made in 21 balls. This made India undefeated at the Games, having won all 5 matches they played. [22] The men's tournament ended with Bangladesh taking bronze after losing to India in the semi-final. Bangladesh set India a target of 145 runs which they made in 17 overs which took them to the final. The men's final was won by Pakistan who made India's target of 185 in 14.1 overs, making that their 5th undefeated match at the games. [23]
