India take on Maldives on Saturday in their second SAFF Women’s Championship 2022 game at the Dashrath Rangasala Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal.
The Blue Tigresses started the SAFF Women’s Championship with a comfortable 3-0 win over arch-rivals Pakistan. Constant pressure in the first half from India forced multiple defensive errors from the Pakistan defence. As a result, Pakistan conceded an own goal in the 21st minute through a defensive mistake from Maria Khan. The defending champions then doubled their lead within two minutes, an excellent pass from Anju Tamang converted by Dangmei Grace. A late goal from Soumya Guguloth in injury time ended Pakistan’s misery with a 3-0 scoreline. Counter-attacks led by Pakistani forward Nadia Khan were well negotiated by the Indian centre-backs Ashalata Devi and Manisa Panna.
India and Maldives have competed on five occasions previously, with India dominating the fixture by winning four out of those five games. India defeated Maldives in their previous tie, which came in 2019 during the South Asian Games, with a 5-0 scoreline.
Maldives lost their first SAFF Women’s Championship 2022 game against Bangladesh with a 3-0 score. India look favourites ahead of the game. Suren Chettri and Co are expected to have another dominating outing on Saturday. Both sides will most likely remain unchanged.
