Bangladesh, fresh from their extraordinary wins, one against India and the other one against the Maldives, junior Tigers are leading the five-team table with six points from two matches.
A victory against Nepal tomorrow may almost see them lifting the trophy. After a Nepal win, they will need only a single point in the last match against hosts Bhutan, who have also identical six points but they have played one match more than Bangladesh.
After their incredible performance against India and also dominating performance against Maldives, the boys in red and green are looking ahead with their morale sky high and would leave no stone unturned to keep the slate clean.
However, the boys in red and green are upbeat following two wins and they have got four days to be prepared as well as refreshed before taking on holders Nepal.

He hopes that his players can play to their true potentials then they have a good chance to come up with expected results. He also warned that Nepal are used to play on this theses types of altitude so they will not be an easy rides.
Roxy also hinted that there might a be a change or two with midfielder Al Amin is likely to come in place of Saikat Munna and also knows that striker Jafar Iqbal will be thoroughly marked. Our other players have to play well to take off extra pressure from Jafar Iqbal.
