In the men's 200 metres, Bangladeshi sprinter Saiful Islam, also came seventh. The gold medals of these events went to Archana Sushatnta of India and Uzair Rahman of Pakistan, respectively.

They won their match against Sri Lanka by 2-1 points to reach the final. Marzan was injured during the match as she was hit by the opponent. Without an injured Marzan, they lost the gold medal match by the same margin, and had to be satisfied with silver. Nayeema Khatun replaced Marzan in the final bout.  Bangladesh men's team won bronze in the Kumite category.
