Oct 20, V7N - Bangladesh is set to start their SAFF Women's Championship campaign with a crucial match against Pakistan today at Dasharath Rangasala Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal. The game kicks off at 5:45 pm Bangladesh time. A victory would ensure Bangladesh a spot in the semifinals, while Pakistan, having already lost to India 2-5, faces a do-or-die situation to remain in the tournament.

Bangladesh, the defending champions, are optimistic, especially with the return of forward Krishna Rani Sarkar from injury. Their final group match will be against India on October 23, which could decide the group champion.

The semifinals are scheduled for October 27, with the final on October 30. All matches will be held at the same venue.
