However, Bangladesh are not returning empty-handed despite not reaching the final. Bangladesh’s bronze medal has been confirmed according to the rules of the semi-final. The Bangladesh Women’s Kabaddi team, which played brilliantly since the beginning of the tournament, finished the tournament in third place in the rankings.
