India’s men and women have both reached the finals of the inaugural Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship after winning their semi-finals at the Veer Savarkar Sports Complex in Ahmedabad on Friday. India’s men beat Bangladesh 56-27, while India’s women defeated Sri Lanka 39-14. Both Indian teams remain unbeaten in the tournament.

India’s women opened the semi-final day with a 39-14 win over Sri Lanka. Sakshi led India’s scoring with 11 points, eight coming from raids. Captain Nidhi Sharma followed with 10 raid points from 12 raids. Ritu and Suman anchored the defence with four and three tackle points respectively as India delivered three All-Outs. Sri Lanka managed just eight successful raids in the match.

India’s men then defeated Bangladesh 56-27. India built a 28-8 lead by halftime after inflicting two All-Outs, the first within the opening five minutes. Bharat Hooda led India’s scoring with 13 points, Shivam Patare contributed 11, and Neeraj Narwal added nine. India registered 37 raid points, 12 tackle points and six All-Out points. Dipayon Golder was Bangladesh’s only efficient raider.

In the other semi-finals, Uganda beat Kenya 23-21 in the women’s draw, while Sri Lanka edged Kenya 28-24 in the men’s draw.

The Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship is being held at the Veer Savarkar Sports Complex in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, featuring national men’s and women’s teams from across the Commonwealth to promote the sport toward future inclusion in the main Commonwealth Games programme. Thirteen countries are participating. India’s men had earlier remained unbeaten through the group stages, as had India’s women. India’s women had already met Uganda in the group stage and won 41-18.

India’s men will face Sri Lanka in the men’s final on Saturday at 9 p.m. IST. India’s women will face Uganda in the women’s final on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. IST.

India’s men’s captain Surjeet Singh said the team’s aim is to continue its unbeaten run and win the title. India’s women’s captain Nidhi Sharma said facing Uganda again in the final will be a good match because Uganda will change their strategy.
