The Indian women’s team won the first-ever Kho Kho World Cup after defeating Nepal in a showdown clash at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday, January 19. 

The Priyanka Ingle-led Indian team handed a drubbing to the Nepalese team with a 78-40 win in the final. The hosts were too hot to handle for the opposition as they dominated the proceedings in both chase and defence. 

The Women in Blue took an early lead of 34-0 at the end of turn 1, as they attacked first. Nepal closed in the gap when they attacked, bringing it to 35-24 at the end of turn 2. The visitors were hanging by a thread, but the Women in Blue possibly took it away in turn 3, when they earned 38 more points. 

Nepal had no answers to the giant 49-point lead. In the last turn when they were attacking, Nepal women found it extremely hard to catch the Indian defenders and could only amass 16 points. The hosts won the tournament with a scoreline of 78-40.
