Ahmedabad, Oct 15:
Poland produced a terrific performance to score an upset win as they beat Iran by 41-25 in the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup at the TransStadia Arena here today.
Iran paid for their complacency as Poland outshone them for the entire 40 minutes. The crowd here cheered Poland on as they marched towards a superb win.
Captain Michal Spiczko led from the front and scored 12 points to lead Poland to a memorable victory. Iran’s mighty defence had a bad day at the office as they scored just six points only two in the second half and were made to pay by the Polish raiders.
Iran were below par but that shouldn’t take any credit away from Poland who outclassed them in all departments.
If Thailand beat Japan in their last game of Group B, they will top the table and Iran could end up playing Republic of Korea in the semi-finals.
Poland ended their World Cup campaign on a memorable high and will take a lot of heart from their performances in the tournament. (UNI)
