Moreover, Bangladesh passed through the three matches keeping their goal post intact. The hosts opened their account beating IR Iran by 3-0 in the 1st match while outplayed Singapore by 5-0 goals in the 2nd match.

“I must respect them, Chinese Taipei is a good team too, and I think the match will be very competitive, like a final. I hope my girls will carry on with their regular performances,” Choton added.
