Translated by Qiyas from النهار — Original source
Two strong matches are scheduled for today. The first pits Al-Salmiya against Al-Burqan at 5:00 PM, while the second features Kuwait against Kazma at 6:30 PM, as part of the 18th round of the handball league, which resumed from last season. The matches will be held at the Sheikh Saeed Al-Abdullah Indoor Sports Complex. The Handball Federation had annulled the results of Qadsia and Salmiya after they withdrew from the competition, leaving only six teams in the league.
Kuwait tops the standings with 19 points, followed by Al-Arabi in second place with 16 points, Al-Burqan in third with 15 points, Kazma in fourth with 14 points, Al-Sulaibikhat in fifth with 6 points, and finally Al-Nasr with 2 points.
In the first match, Al-Burqan aims to secure a victory and gain the three points needed to return to second place. Meanwhile, Al-Sulaibikhat, whose performance has improved noticeably since the league resumed, seeks to improve its league position by delivering a strong performance and achieving a positive result in today’s encounter.
In the second match, Kuwait appears best positioned to continue its winning streak, extend its lead at the top of the table, and move closer to securing its 13th consecutive title. On the other hand, the Orange team (Kazma) aims to hinder its opponent and attempt a return to second place, which it lost after being defeated by Al-Arabi in the previous round.
