Bangladesh vs India: Bangladesh will host India in Dhaka in their penultimate Group C match of the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers (third round). The match is a dead rubber as both the teams have been eliminated from the tournament.
The match is scheduled for Tuesday at 7:30 PM IST.
Bangladesh and India each have two points from four matches, with Bangladesh placed higher due to a better goal tally. India sits 136th and Bangladesh 183rd in the FIFA rankings.
Despite being inconsequential in terms of qualification, the match carries importance due to regional rivalry, pride, and ranking points. In their previous meeting in Shillong earlier this year, the teams played out a goalless draw.
The Indian team, now coached by Khalid Jamil, has undergone changes since the last encounter, including the absence of veteran striker Sunil Chhetri, who is not part of the squad amid speculation about a potential second retirement. Newly naturalised forward Ryan Williams has been included, pending international clearance.
Group leaders Singapore and Hong Kong China are already assured of finishing above both India and Bangladesh, each sitting on eight points.
