A sport for the able bodied, malaakhdo is the Sind version of wrestling. This sport also attracted huge crowds and were help in open grounds where thousands used to witness the wrestlers who were invited from all over Sind.

Held in open spaces the crowds used to sit in a circle and behind them people on horses, camels and elephants used to enjoy the proceedings from their mounts. The malaakhdo or wrestling is more or less similar to sumo wrestling where the participants used their body weight to first push the opponent behind and then hold a vice like grip over his shoulder and try to trip him with a angudi, jantho or wangu, the aim being that the opponent's back had to touch the ground for him to lose. The loser bowed out and the winner continued to face newer opponents till he was defeated. The survivor was the winner of the contest. One could be a winner by being pitted last whereas one could lose after winning five fights also. The event used to generally start a couple of hours before sunset.

Belharee - A variation of the above form, this was an interesting version of the original form of malaakhdo. In this case a circle was marked on the ground in which one participant would stand whereas the opponent would start from outside the circle. The aim was for the outer wrestler to make way from around the circle and get inside and push the other wrestler out. The one who is inside had to ensure that the opponent is not given a foothold inside the circle. However if the opponent finds a way in then he had to be caught in a vice like grip and brought down to touch the ground. In the event of his being pushed out of the circle the one who is outside was declared the winner.
