Top-seeded Nitesh outclassed his Japanese opponent 21-16, 21-12 in straight games to book his place into the summit clash.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>The top-seeded Indian has confirmed his medal at the Paralympics. He had topped Group A, which featured another Indian in Manoj Sarkar\u00a0by winning all three matches.<\/p>\n<p>Nitesh will be up against\u00a0Great Britain&#8217;s second seed Daniel Bethell in the final as they will fight for the gold medal on September 2. Bethell has come into the final after beating\u00a0Thailand&#8217;s Bunsun Mongkhon 21-7, 21-9 in the other semifinal. The British star was the topper in Group B, registering his own hat-trick of wins.<\/p>\n<p>Nitesh&#8217;s semifinal win assures India will return with a medal in the SL3 event, a category in which Pramod Bhagat had won gold in the last Paralympics. Bhagat, who was suspended for\u00a018 months due to whereabouts failures, had defeated Britain&#8217;s Bethell in the final in Tokyo three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The clash now guarantees to be a mouthwatering one as the top two seeded will fight for the top prize at the Summer Games.<\/p>\n<p>India have clinched five medals at the Paralympics 2024 so far with three &#8211; all in badminton &#8211; being assured now.\u00a0Avani Lekhara and Mona Agarwal won gold and bronze in the R2 &#8211; Women&#8217;s 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1.
