FT India 73-20 Thailand

India beat Thailand in style to set-up the dream final with Iran. Thailand can hold their head high for their show in Ahmedabad, but the day belonged to India who got it right in all department. Iran will be extremely tough opponents, but in this form, it will have to be Iran who will be more worried

Firstpost correspondent Malay Desai: Local boy Kiran Parmar is in again, probably for the last time this World Cup, as India won’t risk him against Iran tomorrow. He was a manual labourer at Ahmedabad railway station not so long ago – read about my chat with him here:  http://bit.ly/2dV8ww6. 

He’s definitely being picked by a PKL franchise next season.

Firstpost correspondent Malay Desai: Thailand’s biggest problem – their finest raider (and the top scorer of the World Cup) is a left raider and awaiting him on the left cover is the mighty Manjeet Chhillar, his captain from Puneri Paltan. I don’t see Thailand making over 15 points in raids  tonight.

FT: Iran 28-22 South Korea

Great game of kabaddi but in the end, Iran’s class prevailed. The Iranians didn’t let go the momentum they got at the end of the first half and eventually won the game. India vs Thailand coming up next

Firstpost correspondent Malay Desai:

Meraj is limping away and Korea are three points away. It’s all a matter of who manages nerves better now. It may well be Iran because most of their boys are used to playing incredibly tight gams in the PKL.

The game is ending the way it started. Both teams playing on do-or-die raids. Iran won’t mind it too much who hold a 23-20 lead. But Korea will have to risk it at some point. Six minutes to go

Ten minutes to go and Meraj Sheykh has inspired his Iran side into the lead with six points. However Korea have shown they can come back from exact situations in the past. The game is brilliantly poised. Don’t go away

HT: Iran 11-13 South Korea

The Koreans have the advantage but only just. Iran will look for an all-out with just two men left for Korea. As a contest, it’s been an incredible battle and there is literally nothing to choose between the two sides

Firstpost correspondent Malay Desai: It just took a few men going out, an unsuccessful review and then an All-Out to deflate Iran. Korea are charged up now but a dangerous, wounded Iran is back. I’m hoping their ‘aggro’ leads them to make silly mistakes.

Korea hold a slender 6-3 lead after the first ten minutes. This has been a very cagey affair. Both teams playing on the third raid. But Iran are down to just two men now

Ahmedabad: India produced a scintillating performance to thrash England 69-18 in their last Group B encounter and seal their berth for the Kabaddi World Cup semi-finals at the TransStadia on Tuesday. Star raider Pardeep Narwal scored 13 points while Ajay Thakur scored 11 points as India made full use of their squad depth to notch a comfortable win and end their group campaign on a high. [caption id=“attachment_3065188” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]Team India will take on Thailand in the semifinals of the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup. Team India will take on Thailand in the semifinals of the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup.[/caption] The crowd at the TransStadia arena was in for a treat as the home team put on a spectacular show. After suffering a shocking defeat in their opening match against South Korea, India bounced back in style and finished the group matches with a whopping score difference of 174. England, on the other hand, can take a lot of heart from their performances as they finished fourth in Group B with 10 points. On Tuesday, England made a bright start as captain Someshwar Kalia scored two points in the first minute to lead 2-1. Sandeep Narwal scored with a super raid in the third minute as India overtook the visitors 5-2. Thakur scored with a two-point raid in the fifth minute as India extended the lead to 8-3 and reduced England to just two men. India inflicted the first all out of the match in the sixth minute to lead 12-3. Narwal scored his first points in the seventh minute to give India 14-3 lead. Keshav Gupta scored with a two-point read in the 10th minute as England trailed 5-17. Sandeep Narwal was in great raiding form as he scored six points to help India inflict the second all out in the 13th minute and get a lead of 24-5. England’s defence let them down as they failed to score a single point in the first 15 minutes. India inflicted another all out in the 16th minute to take a commanding 33-5 lead. Such was India’s dominance that they went on a 20-0 run in eight minutes to lead 37-5 after 18 minutes. Pardeep attained a super 10 in the first half whereas Surjeet got a high five as India inflicted the fourth all out in the 20th minute to lead 45-6 at the end of the first half. Coming back, India brought on five substitutes in the second half, including Rahul Chaudhari, to make use of their squad. Nitin Tomar scored two points in the 23rd minute as India led 49-7. England were still looking for their first tackle point and their star raider Tope Adewalure struggled to get raid points. India went on to inflict another all out in the 28th minute to take their lead to 57-8 before England’s Adewalure scored two raid points consecutively to become the first man to score 50 points in the ongoing World Cup. With less than five minutes to go, and India leading 64-14, Rahul scored his third point of the match. India cruised in the last few minutes as Thakur attained a super 10 in the 39th minute to give India a handsome 69-18 win. With inputs from IANS
