Malik faced 3-7 defeat against Nigeria's Adekuoroye in the gold medal match. Malik bagged the first medal for India in the wrestling of the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022.

Her Nigerian opponent was dominant throughout the match and took the match by pinning and rolling Malik out of the ring.
Anshu Malik had scored 10-0 win against Sri Lanka's Nethmi Poruthotage to move to the final.
