BAN vs IND: Hamza-Chhetri duel in focus
Bangladesh and India are set to face each other in the first match of Group C in the third round of the AFC Qualifiers. The match between the two teams will begin at 7:30 PM on March 25 in Shillong. The excitement and tension surrounding this match have been intense in both countries. The enthusiasm for football has multiplied with the inclusion of English Premier League player Dewan Hamza Chowdhury in the Bangladesh squad. Players like Jamal and Rakib are dreaming of a victory against India, centred around Hamza. This match will mark Hamza's debut for the Bangladesh national team, and the squad aims to make it a memorable winning start for him. On the other hand, India's Sunil Chhetri has come out of retirement to rejoin the team, drawing extra attention. However, questions remain about how much impact the ageing forward can still make.
