‘It’s going to be another tough match’
Bangladesh will desperately come to be seeking to repeat Thursday's functionality when they square off neighbours India on earth Cup and Asian Cup Qualifiers found in Qatar today. The match begins at 8:00pm (BST) at the climate-controlled Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha.
Despite a creditable pull against Afghanistan, Jamie Day's charges are still bottom level of the five-team table with two details from six suits, one behind point India. An outright triumph over their neighbours will brighten Bangladesh's chances of finishing fourth together with earning a primary berth to the Asian Glass Qualifiers.
However, the tie isn't just an important affair, but also a prestigious challenge for the males in red and green, who have been deprived of outright wins against the Blue Tigers in their previous three meetings despite acquiring the lead on almost all occasions, including in their last meeting apart in Kolkata.
Although there is a 79-place gulf between your sides in the FIFA Rankings, it has hardly been reflected during the past fits with Jamal Bhuiyan and Co. drawing praise after a brave 1-1 effectiveness against India in Kolkata before some 70,000 raucous spectators.
For their latest clash tomorrow, almost two years because the previous, only five players -- Jamal, Rahmat Mia, Riyadul Hasan Rafi, Biplu Ahmed and fit-again Mohammad Ibrahim -- who performed in the starting eleven for Bangladesh for the reason that game could be picked by Jamie.
Regardless, Bangladesh will surely be seeking inspiration from Thursday's spirited showing against Afghanistan with a squad made up of inexperienced players and their British coach must trust most inexperienced players once again.
"It will likely be another tough meet. They have some very very good players and confirmed battling attributes in recent suits. We need to defend well once again and be better on the ball in possession," Time told The Daily Superstar yesterday. "You seem at India's last meet against Qatar. With 10-men, they fought like warriors and shed 0-1. It simply depicts the product quality in their area. We are pumped up about the game. We know that we must play to your maximum, and expectation India possess another off-day."
After playing out a 1-1 draw against Bangladesh at home, India are expected to be hungrier as a way to raise their points tally aswell ensure direct qualification for the Asia Cup. On the other hand, while Jamie thinks while India aren't quite sense those pangs, he expects them to desire to win. "I don't believe [they are] hungrier but I guess in the beginning of the tournament India would have expected automatic qualification to the Asian Glass. So they have to win," said the 41-year-old.
After Sohel Rana was sidelined with a bone fracture, fit-again Mohammad Ibrahim, who threatened India the most with daunting works and dribbles during the Kolkata match, is going to be drafted in the participating in eleven to improve Bangladesh. "Ibrahim will be involved. It is great to possess a player like him available again, especially with 5 essential players lacking," hoped Jaime.
Captain Jamal Bhuiyan, who has stated before that they constantly get inspiration to take up against India as a result of historical factors, believes the match will probably be 'intense'. "It'll be intense with a lot of battles. It's a lovely match to participate. Last amount of time in Kolkata we were disappointed not to get the 3 things as India scored incredibly late in the overall game. We have that food cravings in us, and we realize we are able to do some destruction," Jamal was quoted as declaring by the All Indian Soccer Federation official webpage.
