India women confident ahead of B’desh game

Kathmandu, Sep 12: With a semifinal berth already secured, and after pumping in nine goals past Maldives in the second match, the Indian women’s team take on Bangladesh in their last group league game of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2022 on September 13.
Head Coach Suren Chettri, nevertheless, is in no mood to be complacent, after victories against Pakistan, and Maldives. “Winning by a huge margin always gives confidence. But we shouldn’t be complacent. Rather, we are looking forward to the next one with the same winning mentality, and finish top of the group,” he said.
“The Maldives game is a past now. We have shifted our focus on Bangladesh. I hope much like the previous game, the girls will play as a team, and concentrate on the job at hand.” Suren stated.
The last time India met Bangladesh at the SAFF Women’s Championship semifinals in 2019, the Blue Tigresses won 4-0.
“Bangladesh are a physical side, and have played good football against Pakistan and Maldives. We respect them as an opponent, and will go out with an attacking mentality,” the coach said. (IANS)
