SAFF Championship: a must-win game for India against Maldives
The Hindu
Nothing less than a victory will save the team from elimination
India, still unbeaten but hugely disappointing so far, takes on Maldives in its last round-robin league match of the SAFF Championships here on Wednesday, knowing well that nothing less than a victory will save it from elimination.
A draw or a loss will put India out of reckoning for a place in the final of the regional tournament and that will be the worst result for the team in recent memory, which could also raise questions about head coach Igor Stimac’s continuation.
The worst performance for seven-time champion India before this edition was a third-place finish in 2003 and it has either won or finished runner-up in 11 previous editions.
