What a way to start the tournament! India registered an emphatic victory over arch-rivals Pakistan to begin the SAFF Championship 2023 campaign on a high. Sunil Chhetri scored a brilliant hat-trick and Udanta Singh added a fourth to give India a comfortable victory. Pakistan goalkeeper Saqib Hanif's blunder gave India the lead! Since then, it was all India. Head coach Igor Stimac was sent off before half-time, but that did not stop India from scoring two more goals in the second half of the match.
GOOALLL ! Udanta Singh this time as he pounces on a wonderful delivery to slot it past the Pakistan keeper. India continue to dominate as Pakistan stare at a big defeat! IND 4-0 PAK
GOOOAAL! It is Sunil Chhetri again, who has now completed a hat-trick! The Indian captain was bundled by a Pakistan player and he calmly steps up to convert from the penalty spot! India 3-0 now and it seems all over as time is now running away from Pakistan! IND 3-0 PAK
Both teams have made two subsitutions here. For Pakistan, Hayat and Bashir have been subsituted with Dost and Niazi being included. India on the other hand, have included Nikhil Poojary and Rohit Kumar in place of Anirudh Thapa and Pritam Kotal.
The second half is underway at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium with India looking to build on their 2-0 lead in the match. Pakistan meanwhile would hope to stage a fightback as soon as possible or else it might just become too tough for them. An early goal would open things up for them while another one for India would seal the win for sure.

Some drama here! Indian team head coach Igor Stimac gets into a heated exchange with the Pakistan players after he intercepted a throw-in from a Pakistan player. He has been shown a red card and expelled from the bench! A yellow card shown to the Pakistan coach as well.
Sunil Chhetri's double strike has kept the Indian team on top in this game and though Pakistan have looked to attack at times, they have not been able to pose any real threat so far. Meanwhile, a heavy drizzle has started at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium.
Sunil Chhetri has been phenomenal and the Indian team is looking dangerous at the moment. Pakistan need a quick response or else the score could get out of hand.
GOOAAL! Again it is Sunil Chhetri and he does not miss from the penalty spot! The Indian team was awarded a penalty after Anirudh Thapa's shot hit a Pakistan player's arms. Chhetri, calm and collected, makes it 2-0 for India! What a start! (IND 2-0 PAK)
The time is here for India and Pakistan to renew their rivalry, the battleground this time being the SAFF Championships 2023. Sree Kanteerava Stadium is slated to host this high-octane clash, with both teams seeking a winning start to the tournament. Hosts India would have a second title on their mind after winning the Intercontinental Cup less than a week ago. The defending champions are favourites on paper to win this contest, given the fact that form and momentum are on their side. In stark contrast, Pakistan had a forgettable time at the Four Nations Series, where their campaign ended with a defeat to Djibouti.

The Men in Green would hope to spring a surprise and stun the home side, but that looks unlikely at this point. Although India are ranked way higher than Pakistan in FIFA rankings, head coach Igor Stimac did not want to take that too much into consideration. While India have been eight-time champions and the most successful side in the competition, Pakistan have managed to reach the semis twice with their best show being a third-place finish in 1997.
With a fully packed Sree Kanteerava Stadium rallying behind the Indian team, it would be interesting to see how the Blue Tigers perform against their South Asian neighbours.
