Birthday boy Sarabjot Singh and Divya TS faltered towards the end to let gold slip out of their hands in the 10m air pistol mixed team but the silver took India's medal count from the shooting range to 19 here on Saturday.

India have won six gold, eight silver and five bronze so far, their best-ever showing in the continental showpiece.

The Indian pair was beaten to the gold medal by world champion marksman Zhang Bowen and compatriot Jiang Ranxin, who emerged 16-14 victors in the shoot-off for the top podium finish.

Sarabjot looked on course to bring India its seventh gold in mixed team event partnering Divya but a few poor shots during the latter part of the shoot-off undid the work done in the qualification round by the pair.
