Kho Kho World Cup: The Indian women's Kho Kho team once again showcased their tactical prowess as they outplayed South Africa 66-16 in the semifinals of the inaugural Kho Kho World Cup 2025 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on Saturday.

The Women in Blue delivered a masterclass in both attack and defense, setting up an exciting final clash with Nepal.

The Women in Blue started off in style with a Dream Run courtesy of Chaithra B, who continued even after Nazia Bibi and Nirmala Bhati were caught by the defenders. She single-handedly scored 5 points before being eliminated by South Africa's Sinethemba Mosia. This was enough to take them close to the South Africans' 8 points at the end of Turn 1, giving them the perfect start to the match.
