  • Spirited Bangladesh Win Hearts Despite Loss to Oz
    12 Friday, June 21, 2019 Sports Defending champions Qatar make it to Asian beach handball semi-finals Qatar, the defending champions, continued their impressive run in the Asian Men’s Beach Handball Championship with a fine 2-0 victory over challengers Vietnam in Weihai, China on Thursday. The fifth victory in a row placed four-time winners Qatar, looking for the fifth straight title, on the top of Pool A after the match between two unbeaten sides. In Pool B, four-time runners-up and 2004 champions Oman booked a slot in the semi-finals as they defeated group leaders Iran 2-1. The victory for Oman was quite crucial after losing to Thailand in the group stage. Thailand beat Saudi Arabia 2-1, which meant three teams - Iran, Oman and Thailand - had the same eight points each with four-one win-loss record. But due to better goal difference, Oman and Iran advanced to the last four stage, while the former went to the head of the pool. In the semi-finals, Qatar will take on Iran, while Oman face Vietnam.
