A few members of Bangladesh’s SAFF Women’s Championship-winning team discovered money stolen from their respective luggage later in the day yesterday, where the team received a grand reception upon their arrival in the country from Kathmandu.
Before emerging as champions of the just-concluded 2022 SAFF Women's Championship, the women in red and green had played a final once before – during the regional competition's 2016 edition. But as the in-form Sabina Khatun, Sanjida Akhtar, Maria Manda and company prepared to encounter hosts Nepal, the Bangladesh head coach Golam Rabbani Choton deemed his charges as favourites -- not based on the track records against the four-time champions but on their current form.
