The match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan in the semi-finals of the Asian Games 2023 kabaddi tournament at the Xiaoshan Guali Sports Centre in Hangzhou, China, promises to be a high-octane showdown. This match, which is scheduled for 12:30pm IST on Friday, October 6, will be live streamed and telecast in India.
India have been dominant throughout the group stages. They won convincingly against Thailand, Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei and Japan, easily topping Group A.
The Indian team is led by captain Pawan Sehrawat and supported by star raiders such as Naveen Kumar, Sachin Tanwar and Arjun Deshwal. Aslam Inamdar has also been added to their arsenal.
In contrast, Pakistan suffered an early defeat against defending champions Iran, but rebounded with victories over Malaysia and South Korea to finish second in Group B.
This is the seventh time these two traditional kabaddi powerhouses will meet in the Asian Games. India has won all six previous meetings, with the two teams not meeting in Jakarta in 2018.
India has a rich history of winning medals in kabaddi at every Asian Games edition, with seven golds and one bronze to its name. Meanwhile, Pakistan has two silver medals and six bronze medals in kabaddi.
Iran, another formidable team in the competition, will face Chinese Taipei in the second semi-final. While the losing semi-finalists will be content with bronze, the winners will advance to Saturday's highly anticipated Asian Games kabaddi final.
