Iran vs Thailand Preview
The Iran team won their first match of the 2016 edition of Kabaddi world Cup against the United States in their opening game. That win must have boosted the confidence of Iran as they won by the heavy margin of 52-15.
This team is loaded with the big names like Sheikh, Fazel Atrachali and Md Maghsoudlou. All these three players have featured in the Indian Pro Kabaddi League, and they have the experience of playing in India, and this will come handy in this match.
Iran is no doubt one of the firms favorites to lift the trophy of 2016 edition of the world cup. A win in this game will give a substantial momentum to Iran that will help them to reach the knockout stages.
On the other side, this is third consecutive Kabaddi world cup for the Thailand team. This match is a revengeful match for the Thailand as they were knocked out of the quarterfinal by the hand of Iran in the 2007 edition of World Cup.
Tin Phonchoo, the captain of the Thailand team, has played for the Dabang Delhi in the Pro Kabaddi League and his experience will definitely come into the play.
PREDICTION
Iran is hot favorite to win this match.
