Tanzania square off against Sri Lanka in the 1st match of Group A of the Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship 2026 on Friday, 23rd October. The match is slated to be played at Veer Savarkar Sports Complex, Ahmedabad and the scheduled start time is 12:00 PM IST. 

Tanzania Preview

Tanzania enters the mat with renewed momentum after a historic semifinal run at AFCON 2026. 

While their past World Cup appearances were tough outings marked by heavy defeats against powerhouse squads like Iran and Kenya, the team has rebuilt around disciplined raiding and sharper defensive coordination.

Led by key pillars like Dau Shehe, Abdurahaman Hamad, and Saidi Tindwa, the lineup blends frontline raid speed with coordinated corner tackles. 

To challenge top-tier opponents, Tanzania must plug defensive leaks, prevent costly multi-point raids, and consistently revive their strike raiders. 

With strong African championship form behind them, this squad has transitioned from an underdog into a dangerous, unified unit ready to claim key upsets.

Sri Lanka Preview

Sri Lanka steps onto the mat for the Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship 2026 looking to shake off rust after sitting out recent major tournaments. In their last competitive tournament, they averaged 33.0 points scored and 40.5 points conceded per match. 

On the offensive side, raiders like Chaminda Samarakoon, Milinda Chathuranga, and Md Ansaf provide regular touch points and steady bonus attempts. However, the defense has leaked heavily from premature tackles and costly all-outs. 

With defenders like Prabhath Thilakaratha, Dilan Sanjaya, and Adhan Viduranga holding the corners and covers, Sri Lanka must avoid loose advanced tackles, maintain tight chain formations, and protect their main raiders on the court.

Tanzania enter this contest as the underdogs to win this match, they are a strong defensive unit and have performed well in recent matches and were one of the semi finalists in the AFCON 2026. While Sri Lanka haven't been active recently and their past record is also not that good. We are backing Tanzania to win this match at 15.00 odds and cover the spread (+31.5) and the total match points to be over 87.5.
