India have won all three of their games in Dhaka

India, the defending champions, won all three of their games: 3-2 against Pakistan, 1-0 against the Maldives and 2-1 against Bhutan in the semi-final. They have scored six goals and conceded three.

What Pakistan can learn from the 3-2 defeat

Pakistan's problem in the first meeting was the start. India led 3-0 after 31 minutes. Pakistan scored twice in added time through Najeeb Ullah and Alamgir Ghazi, and also missed a penalty, so the gap at the end was one goal.

Since then Pakistan have kept two clean sheets. If they can keep the score level through the first half hour this time, the late finishing they showed in the opener gives them a real chance.
