Sunil Chhetri struck a late winner as India beat Bangladesh 1-0 to stay alive for a place in the knockouts. The 39-year-old scored from the spot in the 85th minute. Meanwhile, India’s campaign in women’s football started on a disappointing note after a 1-2 loss to Chinese Taipei.

Shafali Verma bullied an inexperienced Malaysian attack with a 39-ball-67 as India entered the semifinals of the women’s cricket event by virtue of better ICC rankings after their quarterfinal was abandoned due to rain.
