AHMEDABAD, Oct 10: England and Thailand won their first games at the Kabaddi World Cup 2016 at Ahmedabad today and came through in convincing fashion by demolishing Australia and Poland respectively.
Tope Adewalure’s 20 raid points and a combined 43 raid points by England stood out as the difference maker in the first match of the evening as the Europeans stood tall and never gave the Aussies any chance into the contest.
In the next match on the evening, Khunakon Chanjaroen of Thailand scored 10 raid points and five tackle points for a complete showing alongside skipper Khomsan Thongkham to humble the poles.
