Ahead of the important clash, Indian coach Maymol Rocky spoke about how her side is confident about the getting the job done versus Bangladesh. She stated, "We are expecting a tough match against Bangladesh. They are a good side and the match will not be one-sided at all. We will have to work hard but I'm sure the girls will give their best and we will see a positive result."
She also talked about her plans to make a few changes to the starting lineup from the previous game. "The match against Nepal was a good one. It was certainly tough but the players gave it their all but could not finish the chances they created. However, I feel a few changes to the playing XI are still needed and we will see them once the team is announced before the match," added Rocky.
