Indian women’s football team defeated defending champions Bangladesh 3-0 in Margao, Goa, yesterday to top Group B of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2026.

Pyari Xaxa, Lynda Kom, and Malavika P scored a goal each for world No. 69 India.

Earlier last week, India thrashed the Maldives 11-0 in their opening match of the tournament.

Yet to concede a goal in the campaign, India, five-time SAFF Women’s Championship winners, will face Group A runners-up Bhutan in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

World No. 112 Bangladesh, winners of the last two editions, will take on Group A winners Nepal in the other semi-final.
