In the group stage, Captain Ashalata Devi led the India team, which defeated Pakistan 5-2 but lost to Bangladesh 1-3. Nepal drew 0-0 with Bhutan, triumphed 11-0 against Maldives, and beat Sri Lanka 6-0. India, the five-time champions, were eliminated by Nepal in the semifinals of the 2022 SAFF Women’s Championship at the same venue, marking the first time they failed to win since the tournament’s inception in 2010.
Coming to India’s progress in the 2024 tournament, the blue Tigresses are coming into the game despite facing a 1-3 loss against Bangladesh in the group stage.
