India whipped Kenya 50-15 in the Kabaddi Masters Dubai 2018, at Al Wasl SC, here, on Tuesday. India recorded a fourth group stage victory in as many matches.
India raced to an 11-0 lead just five minutes into the encounter, on the back of a quick all-out. At half-time, India was miles ahead at 29-5, leaving no way back for Kenya.
Indian coach Srinivas Reddy stated, "We have tried various team combinations, so far, in this tournament. Now, we're heading close to the business end. So, the time for experimentation is coming to an end. Our focus is, now, on winning the semifinal and the final, and returning home as the champion."
Srinivas added, "Pakistan and Iran are the two toughest teams in the field. I expected South Korea to be a strong contender, but they haven't been able to perform at their best."
The results:
Iran bt Argentina 57-27; India bt Kenya 50-15.
