Both India and Bangladesh had mixed results. While Bangladesh came back from behind to hold Afghanistan 1-1 and earn a point, India did manage to win hearts despite a 10-man fight against Asian champions Qatar, but came back empty-handed. Brandon Fernandes says, “We are moving forward as a team and we need to support each other. We know we have specific roles in the team.” “The next match is very important because we need to maintain the momentum we got in the first match. The match.

We have that hunger in us, and We know we can do some damage,” he said. “The confidence in our team is good at the moment. We had chances to win against Afghanistan.
