Match Preview
India’s Women’s Kabaddi team, reigning Asian Games champions, takes on Bangladesh in a pool stage clash scheduled for the afternoon session on Day 3. India Women have been the dominant force in Asian kabaddi — winning gold at Asian Games 2022 — and will be expected to run out comfortable winners against Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Women’s Kabaddi has been making strides at the continental level, with their players developing physically and technically. Against India, however, the challenge is immense. India’s raiders are aggressive, their defenders are disciplined, and their depth of squad is unrivalled in Asia.
This match gives India’s coaching staff a chance to test their full squad rotation. With tougher matches against South Korea and Thailand expected later, saving key players’ energy while still winning comfortably will be the goal. Bangladesh will look to keep the deficit respectable and develop confidence for their later pool matches.
Women’s Kabaddi at Asian Games 2026 — India’s Medal Ambition
Women’s Kabaddi has been an Asian Games fixture since 2010, with India winning every single gold medal in the event’s history. The 2026 edition in Nagoya is no different — India are overwhelming favourites again, with their depth of talent from the Women’s Kabaddi League providing a huge advantage over all rivals.
South Korea and Iran are expected to challenge India in the knockout stages, while Iran in particular has been building a formidable programme in recent years. Bangladesh, Thailand, and Chinese Taipei compete in the pool stages and look to make it through to the knockout rounds.
