Bangladesh Beat India 1-0 in Dhaka to End 22-Year Drought as India Drop to Bottom

The dead‑rubber result underscores concerns over India's faltering program during a period of domestic turbulence.

Overview

  • Shekh Morsalin scored in the 11th minute from a swift counter to seal Bangladesh’s fourth-ever win over India.
  • India remain winless and sit bottom of Group C with one game left, as Singapore have qualified and Hong Kong hold second.
  • Head coach Khalid Jamil introduced debutants Mohammed Sanan and Lalremtluanga Fanai from the bench during a late push.
  • Ryan Williams did not debut for India because paperwork and approvals arrived too late for his registration.
  • The Dhaka fixture, India’s first in Bangladesh since 2003, adds to scrutiny of the national setup given uncertainty around the domestic league.
