Qatar’s Reem A Sharshani and Rashid Hamad claimed the bronze medal with a score of 32 against the Indian team’s 31.
The duo had produced a perfect score in the final four shots even as 19-year-old Dhaliwal crumbled under pressure and missed a shot to miss out on the medal.
Ganemat, 20, had won the country’s first-ever ISSF World Cup medal in the women’s skeet event when she bagged a bronze on the third competition day.
