It is time for the final of the Kabaddi World Cup tonight at 7.45 pm IST. You can either tune into Star Sports on television or click on the link here. It is India taking on Iran. It should be India all the way as we look forward to them taking on Iran. It must be said that India are in command as far as their form is concerned. Which is why it gives us no hesitation in saying that it may well be an encounter where India really overpower Iran. Of course we are not going to jump here but feel that one way or the other will have this scenario that the hosts will be too tough for them.
Remember India had great wins against Australia and Bangladesh for starters and are a team on a roll. For them to really sharpen any more seems unlikely but the kabaddi they are currently playing should be good enough. Iran know that they cannot in any which way take it easy or else they will have to suffer big time.
The start of a game is always the key and it should be no different here. Of course to say that Iran will not learn from this experience and improve as a team will be looking elsewhere. But India are such a tough nut to crack. (Hosts India thrash Thailand 73-20, to take on Iran in final)
We are looking at India trying to bring their best game forward as they move towards another World Cup crown. But it is not going to be easy by any stretch of imagination. How they cope up will really define how tough they are.
The pressure will be on India to perform and that is where Iran can benefit. They may be looking at a case and point that Iran may look at getting India out of their comfort zone. But that is not going to serve the purpose for the entire match.
Truth be told, India are just too strong for Iran. They should be looking at another easy performance for a match like this.
