India vs Bangladesh Live Score, AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifier Match: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers, where today India will take on a rejuvenated Bangladesh at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong!
The Indian football team will look to extend their undefeated streak against Bangladesh (since 2003). But, former Premier League star Hamza Choudhury’s arrival in the Bengal Tigers side might prove to be a hurdle for the Sunil Chhetri-led Indians.
Chhetri, who made his return to international football for India, scored in a 3-0 friendly win against the Maldives a few days ago and will be aiming to score again. But, Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury will be looking to wreak havoc of his own against the Indians and guide his team to victory on his international debut.
India had finished third in their group in the joint 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, while the rest of Bangladesh, Hong Kong, and Singapore (the other two sides in the group) finished fourth in their respective groups. The winner from this group will qualify for the AFC Asian Cup group stages.
The record book favours India, who in 28 games against Bangladesh, have only lost four, won 14, and drawn 10. Bangladesh’s last win over India occurred in the 2003 SAFF Championship semi-final in Dhaka.
