In football, India clinched their seventh SAFF U17 Championship crown, holding their nerves to edge past Bangladesh 4-1 in a tense penalty shootout in Colombo yesterday.
In a contest where India led 2-1 at half-time with goals from Dallamuon Gangte and Azlaan Shah KH, Bangladesh clawed back with a last-minute equaliser from Ihsan Habib Riduan to level things up at 2-2 and force a shootout.
The penalty shootout saw India showing maturity beyond their age at the Racecourse International Stadium.
