Musab Al Hadi and Waleed Al Kindi had consistent day, 4,3,4 and 2, but slipped to third place behind the Chinese but are well clear of the chasing pack and just 1 point behind the Chinese. In fourth is another Chinese team, Mingcheng Ding and Li Mokul who had finished much ahead of the fleet in the first two races of the day, but slipped finished 8 and 6 as the day progressed.
The experienced Indian team of Ganapathy and Varun, bounced up from seventh overnight to fifth position with 5,2,2 and 7, which moves the 2018 Asian Games bronze medallists to just 2 points behind the Chinese team and share a similar score with their training partners Sandip Jain and Munna Pandit.
