KARACHI: Pakistan clinched the kabaddi gold medal after beating India 42-33 at the inaugural South Asian Beach Games in Hambantota, Sri Lanka.
Previously, Pakistan had defeated Sri Lanka, Nepal and India to finish at the top of the group and faced India in the final.
This was Pakistan’s first gold medal at the South Asian Beach Games where they are also participating in the handball, netball and bodybuilding events.
The South Asian Beach games began on October 8 and end on October 14 with some 359 athletes from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka participating in the event.
Congrats Pakistan.
In this game you have to keep saying the word 'kabbadi' and go over to the other teams side and touch one or more players and comeback to your side. But if they catch and hold you and you are out of breath and stop saying 'kabbadi', then you are out. If you touch one or two players and run to your side, then those players are out of the game.
Way to go Pakistan good luck and well done boys!
Well done boys keep up the good work.
