Indian wrestler Lalita settled for the silver medal after she lost her women's freestyle 53 kg final to Nigeria's Odunayo Adekuoroye in the 2014 Commonwealth Games at the SECC Hall here Wednesday.

Odunayo completely dominated Lalita and took just 31 seconds to seal the gold medal. The Nigerian managed to pin down the Indian and raced away with the win.

Lalita's silver was the fifth medal for India from wrestling. India had won three gold and one silver Tuesday.

The bronze medals went to South Africa Mpho Madi and Canada's Jill Gallays.
