Women’s Kabaddi World Cup 2025: India Thrash Germany 63–22 to Go 3/3, Firmly on Top of Pool A

The Indian women’s kabaddi team continues to underline its status as the world’s most dominant force, producing another ruthless display to beat Germany 63–22 in their third league match at the Women’s Kabaddi World Cup 2025 in Bangladesh.

With this emphatic win, the defending champions have now completed three victories in three matches, tightening their grip on the top of Pool A and moving within touching distance of the semifinals.

The latest points table reflects India’s supremacy:

• India: 3 matches, 3 wins, 6 points, staggering +111 score difference
• Bangladesh: 2nd with 4 points
• Uganda & Thailand: 2 points each
• Germany: winless and eliminated

With only the top two teams from each group qualifying for the semifinals, India are now virtually assured of progressing, and a win in their next match against Uganda on 21 November at 5:30 PM IST would mathematically seal their spot.

Clinical India Dominate From the First Whistle

India, carrying the confidence of their earlier wins against Chinese Taipei and Kazakhstan, came out with clear intent to control the tempo. Germany, still searching for their first win of the tournament, looked overwhelmed by India’s intensity right from the opening raid. India’s raiders were in top gear, combining quick footwork with clever bonus pickups, while the defense worked like a well-oiled unit. The chain tackles and corner blocks were executed with precision, forcing repeated all-outs on the German side.

By mid-first half, India had already established a commanding lead, and Germany struggled to stitch successful raids together. The result was inevitable long before the final whistle.

The hallmark of India’s performance throughout this World Cup has been balance something the team demonstrated once again in this match.

• Raiding Unit: Dominant, fast, and fearless. India’s raiders scored freely, consistently outmaneuvering the German defense. The bonus line was exploited early, and the Germans had no response to India’s agility.
• Defensive Unit: Rock solid. The corners held structure, the covers executed perfectly timed dashes, and the blocks were strong and decisive.
  Germany found it difficult to even get touches, let alone convert raids into points.

India forced multiple all-outs in both halves, which ballooned the lead to 41 points by full-time.

Pool A: India in Command, Bangladesh in Pursuit

The updated standings present a clear picture of the group dynamics:

Pool A Standings (After 3 Matches)

1. India – Played 3, Won 3, Points 6, Score Difference +111
2. Bangladesh – Played 3, Won 2, Points 4, Score Diff +25
3. Uganda – Played 3, Won 1, Points 2, Score Diff +14
4. Thailand – Played 2, Won 1, Points 2
5. Germany – Played 3, Lost 3, Points 0, Score Diff –123, Eliminated

India are not just winning they’re winning by massive margins. Their score difference of +111 is the highest in the tournament across both pools, showcasing a team that is not only in form but also tactically superior.

Bangladesh remain the closest challengers in the group, but India’s comprehensive win against them earlier has already handed the hosts a psychological blow.

Across the Tournament: Iran, Nepal, Chinese Taipei Impress in Pool B

Pool B continues to be tightly contested with three teams sitting at the top:

• Iran: Played 4, Won 3, Points 6, SD +102
• Nepal: Played 4, Won 3, Points 6, SD +71
• Chinese Taipei: Played 3, Won 3, Points 6, SD +48

These three sides look set to battle for the top two semifinal spots, while Zanzibar, Kenya, and Poland are out of contention. If India top their group as expected, they would likely avoid Iran in the semifinal—though any knockout clash at this stage will be intense.

India will now face Uganda in their fourth group match at 5:30 PM IST on 21 November. Uganda, currently at two points, will be fighting to stay alive in the qualification race, making the encounter a crucial one for them.

For India, however, it is an opportunity to:

• Secure their fourth straight win
• Officially confirm a semifinal berth
• Fine-tune strategies ahead of the knockout round

Given their form, India will enter as overwhelming favourites. A Champion Team Playing Like Champions. With a perfect start and enormous scoring margins, the defending champions appear well on course for another deep run and potentially another World Cup title.

If they continue with the same momentum, the road to the semifinals, and perhaps the final, could unfold very smoothly.
