Kabaddi Masters Dubai: When and where to watch India vs South Korea semi-final, coverage on TV and live streaming on Hotstar

Reigning world champions India and runners-up Iran will be favourites to make the final when they take on their respective semi-final opponents in the Kabaddi Masters on Friday.

This will be a repeat of the Asian Championship semi-final for India when they had beaten Korea 45-29 to avenge their World Cup 2016 league stage loss in Ahmedabad.

India have beaten Korea four times from five exchanges and the only loss was in the 2016 World Cup.

The six-nation invitational kabaddi tournament, organised by International Kabaddi Federation in association with Star Sports and Dubai Sports Council, is the last tournament before the Asian Games.

This has been a tournament for Indian youngsters as the likes of Rishank Devadiga and Monu Goyat, the most expensive kabaddi player, have been a revelation in their maiden international meet.

Skipper Ajay Thakur spearheads their attack with his top-raiding skills while in defence the likes of Surender Nada, Girish Maruti and Surjeet have lent a fine balance.

Iran will bank on their strong attacking lineup when they face Pakistan in the first semifinal.

Despite coming with a depleted side, Iran have easily outpaced their opponents – Argentina and Korea – to win four out of four matches.
