As soon as the last siren sounded, captain Arduzzaman Munsi was picked up by Yasin Arafat. Another teammate ran up and handed the red-green flag to the captain. Arduzzaman deserved this honor. Arduzzaman announced his retirement before the start of the final. The challenge for the team-mates then was to defeat Nepal in the final and bring the title to their beloved captain.
Finally it happened. The rest of the players gave Arduzzaman the title to Nepal with 45-31 points and Bangladesh. The hosts won the title for the fourth time in the Bangabandhu Cup International Kabaddi Tournament at the Shaheed Suhrawardy Indoor Stadium in Mirpur.
An unstoppable Bangladesh has been seen in seven consecutive matches. No team could challenge Bangladesh like that. Towards the end of the final, Nepal could not even try to stand up. In the first half, the host Bangladesh made Nepal feel helpless. Playing in front of thousands of spectators, Bangladesh was leading in the first half by 24-10 points.
In the eighth minute of the match, they all-out Nepal to get their first win. The second loanee also had a chance in the first half. In the very last minute, Mizanur Rahman of Bangladesh tried his best to all-out the two Nepalese men. However, the two defenders of Nepal blocked Mizanur, who became fearsome, with an extraordinary block.
At the beginning of the second half, however, Bangladesh all-out Nepal for the second time. After that, Nepal made two attempts to return to the match. Ghanshyam Roka Magar, the team's best raider, put Bangladesh in a bit of danger with several successful raids. They also all-out Bangladesh two minutes before the end of the match. But by that time the gap has increased a lot.
