India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score: India should have another easy game. (HT_PRINT)

India vs Bangladesh, Asian Games hockey LIVE Score: India, already in the Asian Games semifinals, play Bangladesh in their last Pool A game today. Harmanpreet Singh’s men have been rampant so far, having comfortably won their matches against Indonesia (13-1), Sri Lanka (16-1), South Korea (8-2) and Japan (2-0). Whatever happens in today’s game — even though Bangladesh have no chance against the Indians — India are going to finish as the Pool A leaders and will play Pakistan in the semi-finals on October 1. Yes, there are mathematical equations, but they are impossible ones. So, in a manner of speaking, the focus has already shifted to the Pakistan game; however, the Indians would love to continue their rampant form against Bangladesh too.

  We are nearing kick-off

  Just 8 minutes to go. 3:30 pm it is. The match against Japan was the toughest. Just a 2-0 win. In the rest of the games, they were rampant. They are likely to be rampant today as well. Bangladesh don't have serious hockey credentials, if truth be told.
