The Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship 2026 produced a flurry of decisive results on its sixth day at the Veer Savarkar Sports Complex in Ahmedabad on 28 October 2026, with Uganda women securing their semifinal berth against Kenya and Sri Lanka booking spots in the last four in both the men's and women's draws.

Key Semifinal Matchups Set

The women's semifinals will see Group B topper Kenya take on Uganda in an all-African contest, while hosts India, who topped Group A, will face Sri Lanka in the other tie. On the men's side, Sri Lanka sealed their last-four place, with their final group fixture against India on Thursday set to decide the Group A topper.

Uganda Women Surge Past Nigeria

Uganda women turned in a commanding 65-22 victory over Nigeria to clinch the second spot in Group B. The match was relatively even in its early stages, but swung decisively after the Nigerian coach called a timeout with Uganda leading 16-9. What followed was a stunning 18-0 run by Uganda, who went into half-time leading 35-12 — a margin that effectively settled the contest. Nalwoga Nahia was outstanding with 22 points, while Nalubega Olivia contributed 11 points. Uganda outscored Nigeria 44-15 in raid points and 12-5 in tackle points, inflicting eight all-outs en route to the win.

Sri Lanka Men Overpower England

Sri Lanka men posted a comfortable 50-22 win over England to advance to the semifinals. Viduranga top-scored with 11 points, while Lakshita chipped in with nine points in what was a controlled performance. Sri Lanka's semifinal opponents will be determined by Thursday's all-important clash with India, which will settle the Group A standings.

Men's Group B: Kenya and Bangladesh Dominate

Kenya and Bangladesh cemented the top two positions in Men's Group B with convincing performances. Kenya ended Canada's unbeaten run with a 49-20 demolition, led by Stephen Adongo (6 points), Rodgers Atieno, and Samuel Wafula (5 points each). Kenya inflicted four all-outs on Canada and won 15 tackle points to Canada's seven, with contributions spread across eleven players.

Bangladesh were equally dominant, crushing Australia 69-30 in a 39-point rout. Dipayon Golder delivered a standout 21-point display, while Md Liton Ali added 14 points. Ibrahim Khaleel and Amol Roy scored 7 points each as Bangladesh outraided Australia 41-30, inflicting a staggering 12 all-outs — three of them within the opening 15 minutes.

Uganda Men and Malaysia Also Win; Bangladesh Women Bow Out

Malaysia eased past Nigeria 78-13 in a Group B fixture, while Uganda men held off Tanzania 35-28 in a closely fought encounter. Uganda trailed or were level for stretches but inflicted a crucial all-out late in the second half to pull clear, outscoring Tanzania 19-16 in raid points and 15-11 in tackle points.

In women's action, Bangladesh beat England 79-13 — with Sraboni Mollick scoring 27 points and Bristhi Biswas adding 12 — but their earlier defeats to Kenya (by nine points) and Sri Lanka (by 11 points) ended their semifinal hopes.

With the semifinals now confirmed, Thursday's India vs Sri Lanka men's group decider promises to be the day's centrepiece as both sides vie for the top seeding heading into the knockouts.
