SAFF U16 Women: A spot in the final of the SAFF U16 Women's Championship will be on the line when the Indian team takes on Bangladesh in their second match of the tournament at the ANFA Complex in Lalitpur, Nepal on Tuesday.

After a thumping 7-0 victory over Bhutan in Friday's opener, helped by Anushka Kumari's hat-trick, Pearl Fernandes' brace, and strikes from Shveta Rani and Anwita Raghuraman, a win against the in-form Bangladesh would see the Young Tigresses book their place in the final with a match to spare. Bangladesh opened their campaign with a 2-0 win over hosts Nepal on Saturday, with Sauravi Akanda Prity netting a first-half brace.

"A hundred percent, we will enter the pitch against Bangladesh with the mentality to win and play pressing football. We don't want a defensive game. We'll go all out for the three points," said head coach Biby Thomas on the eve of the match.
