Skipper Maria Khan: The very promise of an India-Pakistan clash in the sporting arena is always a mouth-watering prospect, no matter which the discipline is. There is one in the offing on Thursday when India take on Pakistan in the Group A league tie of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2024 at the iconic Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu.

The stadium has been the stage for countless memorable sporting moments; the battle on Thursday will be yet another feather in its cap.

The match will also be a glorious moment in the dazzling career of seasoned Blue Tigresses defender and skipper Ashalata Devi, who will become India’s first woman footballer to play 100 international matches. Ashalata is all focused on the game and has set her goals.
