#3 Multiple all-outs hurt the Australian’s cause

India vs Australia Kabaddi World Cup 2016
Australia were down 10-0 by the 5th minute

Cashing in on the inexperience of the Australian team, India inflicted successive all-out on the hapless side, with the very first one coming in the 5th minute itself and the scoreline at 10-0.

As the match progressed, Anup Kumar’s men did not let their rivals make any in-roads and forced yet another all-out in the 11th minute with the score 20-2 in favour of the hosts.

If this wasn’t enough to dampen the Australians, they had to endure a third all-out at the very start of the second half, with India leading 35 to 7.

The narrow nail-biting ,finish finish against South Korea might have built massive pressure on the Indian squad but they put forth a brilliant display of tactics and calmness to slow down the pace of the game.

The fourth and the last all-out in the 36th minute nailed the final nail in the Australian coffin, with the Aussies lagging behind 49-15 at that point.
