Nepal and Malaysia square off in the 9th Group B fixture and the 19th overall match of the Men's Asian Games Kabaddi 2026 on Thursday, 24 September. The venue for this clash is the Tokai Citizen Gymnasium in Aichi, Japan, with the action scheduled to begin at 12:30 PM IST (4:00 PM local time).

Both teams enter their final group match looking for a consolation victory. Nepal sit in fourth place having suffered defeats against Thailand (48-59), Pakistan (43-58), and Iran (23-76). Meanwhile, Malaysia occupy fifth place after consecutive heavy losses to Pakistan (22-65), Thailand (23-66), and Iran (33-67).

Nepal Preview

Nepal head into their final Group B fixture against Malaysia aiming to end their tournament campaign on a positive note after suffering three successive defeats against heavyweights Thailand (48-59), Pakistan (43-58), and defending silver-medallists Iran (23-76). 

Led by Ghanshyam Roka Magar, Nepal's raiding unit has demonstrated sharp agility, racking up 114 total points with relentless bonus-line hunting and aggressive hand touches. 

However, their defensive chains have struggled to hold structure against multi-point attacks, leaking 193 points and surrendering 18 all-out points across the tournament. 

Against an equally vulnerable Malaysian backline, Nepal’s superior raiding tempo and do-or-die scoring ability position them well to dictate the pace and secure their first win.

Malaysia Preview

Malaysia suffered their third consecutive heavy defeat, falling 33-67 to defending silver-medallists Iran following earlier losses to Pakistan (22-65) and Thailand (23-66). Pinned back from the opening raid, Malaysia trailed 16-37 at the break. 

Their raiders showed positive intent in do-or-die phases to register 23 outs and six bonus points, along with two defensive super tackles. 

However, their defensive chains were dismantled by Iran's multi-point raiders, conceding four all-outs and eight all-out points. Having leaked a tournament-high 198 total points, Malaysia remain at the foot of Group B without a win.

Nepal hold the clear edge in raiding fluency and physical tempo. Malaysia’s defensive chains have completely collapsed against fast-paced attacks, conceding over 65 points per game. Nepal’s active bonus-hunting and sharp running touches should overwhelm Malaysia's covers early on. We predict the total match points to be over 83.5 and back Nepal to win and cover the spread (-11.5).

Nepal to win and cover the spread (-11.5).
