The first end was tied, with both Kang and Asyirifa scoring 29 points. However, the gap widened from the second to the fourth ends. Kang scored 29, 27, and 29 points, while Asyirifa achieved three consecutive scores of 30.

In the fifth end, Kang scored 29 points, while Asyirifa scored 28, concluding the match.

If Kang secures a bronze medal in the individual event, it will mark her second medal of the tournament, following the women's team event the previous day.
