That’s it from our end for tonight! It’s so sad that the Indian team did not get a chance to play the match tonight. The players have been in a camp since August last year to prepare for the Asian Cup but the COVID-19 pandemic had others. Hopefully, they will bounce back quickly from this temporary setback. Good night.

Are India out of the tournament?

The AFC statement doesn’t say so clearly. The statement does read that, “The matter will now be referred to the relevant AFC Committee(s) in accordance with the applicable regulations”.

There’s a slim chance the match may get rescheduled but the chance of that happening is very bleak.

The worse fear come true. #Omicron breached #BlueTigresses like never seen before.

At this moment we should pray for the speedy recovery of everyone and back our players.

These players reached this stage with great sacrifices and it is their dreams got shattered this time.

Heart goes out for the Team. It is devestating to have trained and prepared for so long and to get knocked out of the tournament without having a chance to fight it out in the field. So Unfair. #Tigressess #BackTheBlue #HerGameToo

The AFC says that provisions of Article 4.1 will apply to the cancelled match. In such a case, the side unable to field a team will be considered as the losers.  However, under exceptional circumstances, the AFC could reschedule the match. The chances of that happening is slim in a tournament that runs on an extremely tight schedule.

If India are unable to field a team today, they will have to give a 3-0 walk over to the Chinese Taipei. It could very well mean elimination from the tournament for India as their last group match is against China.

Just FYI, Chinese Taipei lost their only match of the tournament, 0-4 against China on the first day of the tournament.

Bad news coming in…

It’s being reported that 13 Indian players have tested positive for COVID-19. We are still not clear on the status of the match. 

AIFF president Praful Patel had said before the tournament that a match would go ahead if 13 players are available to a team.

India’s match against Chinese Taipei is nothing less than a must-win clash. After securing only one point against Iran, India need to beat Chinese Taipei to qualify for the last eight without a fuss. The quarter-finalists will get a shot at a spot for the 2023 World Cup and hence all the teams are determined to reach the last eight stage. India are currently second in the group with one point. The hosts play China in their last match, hence today’s match give them the best opportunity to take a decisive step towards the quarter-finals.

Welcome to our live coverage of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022 match between India and Chinese Taipei. After a bitter draw again Iran, India will hope to register their first win of the showpiece event today against Chinese Taipei.

India vs Chinese Taipei Live Football Score, AFC Women’s Asia Cup 2022: After a bitter draw again Iran, India will hope to register their first win of the showpiece event today against Chinese Taipei. Preview: India take on Chinese Taipei in their second match of AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, on Sunday. India began their campaign with a goalless draw against Iran. The hosts are currently in the second position in Group A with one point. The match against Chinese Taipei is very much like a must-win clash for India as they aim to reach the last eight. India’s last game is against China, who have won the tournament on eight occasions and are the favourites to top the group. India can qualify easily for the quarter-finals if they finish second in the group. A draw against Chinese Taipei will also keep India in contention but it will complicate the matter, hence the team will hope to put itself in a commanding position by winning tonight. For that, they will need to drastically improve upon their finishing due to which they could not beat Iran. India created multiple chances in their first match but were unable to score even one goal. Apart from finishing, India may also need to make some changes to the starting XI to help their cause. Kamala Devi who did not play in the first match could get a start. Her addition will definitely bolster the midfield. Dangmei Grace is another player who is expected to be in the starting XI. Her introduction in the second half of the game helped India create chances after chances, and coach Thomas Dennerby will be hoping for another good performance from the forward today. India squad: Goalkeepers: Aditi Chauhan, Maibam Linthoingambi Devi, Sowmiya Narayanasamy. Defenders: Dalima Chhibber, Sweety Devi Ngangbam, Ritu Rani, Loitongbam Ashalata Devi, Manisa Panna, Hemam Shilky Devi, Sanju Yadav. Midfielders: Yumnam Kamala Devi, Anju Tamang, Karthika Angamuthu, Nongmeithem Ratanbala Devi, Naorem Priyangka Devi, Indumathi Kathiresan. Forwards: Manisha Kalyan, Grace Dangmei, Pyari Xaxa, Renu, Sumati Kumari, Sandhiya Ranganathan, Mariyammal Balamurugan.
