As India prepares to take on Bangladesh in tonight's FIFA World Cup and AFC Asian Cup joint qualifier, it remains to be seen which Indian side turns up; the one which can play some really attractive and positive football or the one which tends to implode under pressure. Against a team that is ranked 184 in the world, nothing but a win will do for the Blue Tigers and the entire nation is hopeful that tonight will mark the beginning of India's resurgence after a rather difficult 18 months.
Get all the updates from the game at the tap of a finger right here on our LIVE BLOG, from the team news till the time the referee blows the final whistle. Kick off is at 7:30 pm but we will go live as soon as the teams are out.
Stay tuned....
That's it from us guys. It was a great game to be honest. India gave it their all but it just wasn't clicking in the final third. Once we got that first goal, the floodgates opened. And what more do we say about Sunil Chhetri. At 36, he is still the pillar of this team.
See you against Afghanistan. Signing off..
That's it..!!
India beat Bangladesh 2-0. Chhetri is the saviour once again for India on a night when the other strikers and he himself were looking off colour till the 70th minute.
BIG WIN..
Chhetri at the double....!!
Brilliant finish again from inside the box from that man again. Very good work down the right from Suresh.
90'
A brilliant through ball from Sunil who tries to retur the favour to Ashique. His shot is well saved.
India are still looking nervous, more so since scoring the goal. Important to hold on for the last 5 minutes.
It was a fantastic header from a fantastic player. A very difficult header made to look simple.
GENIUS..
It is that man again..
Sunil Chhetri directs his header perfectly from an Ashique cross. and India are ahead..
10 minutes to go.
Another brilliant corner from Brandon and Subhasish pulls his header just wide.
