The latest SAFF Championship in September witnessed Bangladesh go on a rampant run as they netted 23 goals in five matches while conceding only one as the women in red and green shrugged off their group-stage opponents -- Maldives, Pakistan, and India – before crushing Bhutan in the semifinal and downing hosts Nepal in the grand finale at the Dasarath Rangasala stadium.
