LAHORE: Pakistan defeated India in the Asia Kabaddi Cup
final match, in dramatic fashion, played at the Iqbal Stadium on Monday.
Pakistan team was declared champion when Indian team walked
out from the field in a protest against the referee’s decision of penalizing
the Indian Coach.
Pakistan were ahead, leading 40-31 with just 10 minutes
remaining when an Indian raider came for his second consecutive attack which
snowballed into an argument after a point was awarded to Pakistan.
According to the rules, a raider can only attack once and
then a different raider has to come.
The argument forced team officials to step in to avoid
confrontation between the players. However, the Indian team refused to continue
to play.
Pakistan received winner’s cheque of Rs1.5million while
India pocketed Rs1million as first runners-up. The third spot was grabbed by
Iran.
