Bangladesh made a winning start to the inaugural Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship, defeating Canada 67-28 in their opening men's match in Ahmedabad, India, on Saturday.
Despite a disappointing start by the women's team, the men's side delivered a dominant performance to secure a convincing victory.
Bangladesh controlled the match from the outset, collecting points through successive raids and keeping Canada under constant pressure. Canada struggled to mount a strong response against Bangladesh's attacking play and remained behind throughout the contest.
Bangladesh maintained their attacking intensity until the final whistle to seal the 39-point victory, giving the team a confidence boost ahead of their next match.
Bangladesh will face Kenya in their next fixture.
