In the women’s 25m pistol, two Indians made the ranking round with Manu shooting a solid 294 in the second rapid-fire stage to finish third with a score of 584. Esha Singh bagged the seventh spot with 581. That meant both Indians found themselves in the first ranking match together from where, eventual gold medallist Doreen Vennekamp of Germany and Manu, qualified for the medal match with 14-hits each out of 20. Esha was third with 11-hits while Zavala of Mexico was fourth with 10-hits. Two Chinese shooters, Xiong Yaxuan and eventual silver medallist Du Ziyue came through from the second ranking match with 12-hits apiece as the Koean and Singaporean shooters were eliminated.

In the medal match, where the fourth shooter is eliminated after the first four five-shot series, Xiong bowed out with 12-hits, confirming India’s medal. Doreen was leading at that stage with 16-hits while both Manu and China’s Ziyue were tied on 14-hits each. The Indian fought hard thereafter but her opponents did not falter, leaving Manu to settle for bronze after the sixth series with 20-hits to her name. Doreen finished with 30-hits at the end of 40-shots to Ziyue’s 29, returning a popular winner. This was the German two-time world championship medallist’s second medal in Bhopal, after winning silver in the women’s 10m air pistol earlier.
