SANYA – Nepal’s beach kabaddi team secured a spot in the 6th Asian Beach Games semifinals with a convincing 49–33 win over Thailand in a key Group B match. After their 48–32 victory over Chinese Taipei on the opening day, Nepal showed strong tactics, taking a 23–15 lead at halftime and holding on to win. With this second win, Nepal earns 4 points and guarantees passage to the knockout rounds. This was helped by Thailand’s earlier loss to Bangladesh. Although Nepal has confirmed a semifinal place, their next match against Bangladesh—which was halted due to rain and rescheduled for Sunday at 9:00 AM local time—will determine their semifinal seeding. For Nepal, this match provides an opportunity not just for points but also to position themselves among the top teams and aim for the Asian Beach Games title.
