Colombo and Triconmalee teams posing for a group picture before their match
Colombo and Punjab are through to the women's final of the International Inter City Kabaddi Championships with both teams having one match to spare.
The two teams will clash today in their final preliminary round matches and again in the final in the evening.
Triconmalee and hosts Kuala Lumpur will play off for the third place. Triconmalee were unfortunate to have to play two back-to-back matches after arriving late for the tournament. They missed their flight on Thursday and the managers meeting agreed to to reschedule their matches.
In the men's competition, three teams are still in the running to make the final. Punjab, Colombo and Kuala Lumpur can make it to the final based on the results of the final round robin matches.
Punjab can qualify for the final if they beat or draw with Delhi today while Kuala Lumpur can also make it to the final if they beat Putrajaya in their final match.
Colombo will qualify if either Punjab or Kuala Lumpur falter in their final match.
RESULTS
MEN: Colombo beat Putrajaya 68-8, Kuala Lumpur beat Colombo 37-34, Punjab beat Putrajaya 65-52, Kuala Lumpur beat New Delhi 49-29
WOMEN: Punjab beat Triconmalee 50-36, Colombo beat Triconmalee 47-41, Punjab beat Kuala Lumpur 70-19
