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.

Till next time..
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..

A huge result for India
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..
