As expected defending champions Bangladesh cruised into the final in the fourth edition of Bangabandhu Cup International Kabaddi Tournament beating Thailand by 41-18 points with three creditable lonas in the first semi-final held at Shaheed Suhrawardy Indoor Stadium here on Sunday. Bangladesh’s offence and defence stuck to their tasks all through the proceeding and saw Thailand gasping for air. It was a repeat act of Arduzzaman and Co. as they beat Thailand in the last four duels last year also. Arduzzaman Munshi, the aggressive Bangladesh skipper made his presence felt from the very first raid sending three Thailand players to the sideline raising the confidence level of his teammates.
