Full Time

IND 50-15 KEN

Surjeet finishes with a super raid as India hand Kenya a schooling in every sense of the word. Kenya did well in the end to reduce India to two men, but lacked the experience to finish the job.

Kenya now need to beat Pakistan by more than 7 points to qualify for the semi-final. India go into semis with 100% win record

IND 46-13 KEN

SUPER RAID! Obiero Victor has been Kenya’s most impressive player. With that super raid, Kenya have a chance of enforcing an all out. That would be a big positive for Kenya from the match
Obiero goes out on the lobby and he is out. Surjeet gets a touch point in the next raid. India revive two men and Kenya’s hopes of enforcing an all out may well have disappeared

IND 40-6 KEN

Kenya score a point after a long time and it’s met with sarcastic cheers from the crowd.

ALL OUT! India are relentless. Their raiders have been on top of their game again. No team seems to know the way to tackle this three-pronged attack

Argentina entertaining the crowd with some moves of their own. The South Americans have been a breath of fresh air off the field.

On a different note, Argentina play Nigeria is crucial game in the FIFA World Cup tonight. Will the blue and whites be dancing at the end of the night?

End of the first half. India completely dominant. Can Kenya save some pride in the second half?

Rahul Chaudhari is being given a run. Rishank Devadiga who has been impressive all throughout the tournament gets a deserved breather. Reddy wants all his players in form ahead of semi-finals

IND 15-2 KEN

Laventer Oguta takes a timeout. Kenya need calming down. India have made a habit of coming storming out of the blocks and no opponents have managed to

deal with that threat. Oguta’s words appear to have made a difference as Kenya catch Pardeep Narwal to record their second point of the game

IND 13-1 KEN

What an ankle hold from Surender Nada to halt the big David Mosambayi in his tracks. Pardeep follows it up with the first touch point of the game. The ones introduced by Srinivas Reddy are making a mark early on
ALL OUT! Pardeep Narwal seems to be a man on a mission. He has looked like his usual menacing player in this game so far and Kenya are struggling to cope with it.

IND 3-0 KEN

Pardeep Narwal gets a massive reception from the crowd as he comes to raid. He begins with a bonus. Important for India to get someone like him firing before semi-finals
