India vs Maldives LIVE Updates: The Blue Tigers started the tournament with a dominant 3-2 win over arch-rivals Pakistan on Thursday, November 5. Naushad Moosa's coached Indian side is now ready to take on the Maldives at the National Stadium in Dhaka, with a semifinal spot on the line. Hosted by Bangladesh, the tournament sees India needing just a draw to progress, though the Blue Tigers will look to carry their momentum and put up a dominant show. However, India's campaign has been hit by a few withdrawals as Farukh Choudhary, Noufal PN, and Hmingthanmawia Ralte have been released from the squad to return to their club, Mumbai City FC. India is fielding a second-string side, with the main squad scheduled to play New Zealand on Thursday, November 11. On the other hand, the Maldives haven't had the greatest of starts, suffering a loss against Pakistan in their opener, and now look to bounce back and pull off a major upset.

India vs Maldives LIVE Updates: Preview!
India have sent their second-string side to the SAFF Championship, with the main squad travelling to New Zealand for two friendlies starting on November 12. The Blue Tigers defeated Pakistan 3-2 in their opening match, with Suhail finding the net twice and Kipgen scoring in the 32nd minute. Pakistan were trailing 3-0 before scoring in the second half's injury time to soften the defeat.
Now, India take on the Maldives. The match starts at 3:00 PM at the National Stadium in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Both teams are outside the top 100 in the FIFA rankings, with India sitting at 138 and the Maldives at 173—a glaring 35-spot difference. India require just a draw to book a semifinal spot, and an upset is highly unrealistic given the rankings. Pakistan have already qualified for the semifinals. If India win the match, they will also top the group.
