For one, India were looking to win and avoid finishing at the bottom of the table. Additionally, the game marked the first time in 22-years that India has played Bangladesh in Bangladesh.

India go down to Bangladesh!!
22 years ago Bangladesh had beaten India on their home soil and tonight, they inflicted yet another defeat on their neighbours.
In the dying minutes of the game, while the locals fans cheered their players, collective jeers rang out when the Indians touched the ball.
India has now gone five games without victory.
