India are silver medallists from last time

Today's match is in fact a rematch of the semifinal at the 2018 Asian Games. India had beaten Taipei to move into the final, where they had lost to Iran. Usha Rani and Ritu Negi are some of the players in today's team who were part of that campaign 5 years ago.

In overall history, India and Iran have both won 3 medals in Asian Games women's kabaddi history. India, however, are the most successful as they have 2 golds and 1 silver. Iran have 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.
