Xiaoshan Guali Sports Centre: The Indian women's kabaddi team survived a scare before reclaiming the gold medal in the Asian Games after a gap of five years, beating Chinese Taipei by one point in the final at the Xiaoshan Guali Sports Centre, here on Saturday.

In the final, the Indian women's team was run close by first-timers Chinese Taipei, who had stunned defending champions Iran in the semifinals, before emerging 26-25 winner at full time.

In the 2018 Games in Indonesia, India lost to Iran 24-27 in the final and had to settle for a silver medal. It was only the third time that women's kabaddi was being played in the Asian Games and the defeat suffered by two-time defending champions India was a huge embarrassment for the country's kabaddi officials.
