Indian Women’s Team Prepares for Rematch Against Myanmar

The Indian senior national women’s team, led by head coach Chaoba Devi, is gearing up for a rematch against Myanmar after a close 2-1 defeat. The upcoming match will be held at Yangon’s Thuwunna Stadium and will kick off at 15.00 IST. Fans can watch it live on the Pyone Play YouTube Channel.

Coach Chaoba Devi’s Strategy

Coach Chaoba Devi emphasized the importance of minimizing mistakes and taking collective responsibility to secure a win. She noted, “Minimising our mistakes in the next match, and taking collective responsibility is the key to winning tomorrow’s match at any cost.”

Previous Match Highlights

In the previous match, Myanmar took an early lead with a header from Win Theingi Tun. Pyari Xaxa equalized for India, but San Thaw Thaw scored the decisive goal for Myanmar. Despite efforts from Anju Tamang, Sangita Basfore, and Soumya Guguloth, India couldn’t break through Myanmar’s defense.

Focus on Finishing

Coach Devi highlighted the need to improve finishing, a recurring issue in past tournaments. “We need to concentrate on our finishing. This is one area where we faced problems in the Turkish Women’s Cup and the tour of Uzbekistan, too,” she said.

Player’s Perspective

Pyari Xaxa, who scored India’s lone goal, expressed confidence in the team’s ability to win by working together and correcting past mistakes. “We had a good game overall, but we committed some mistakes. But we are working very hard to rectify such mistakes for the next game,” she said.

All eyes will be on the Indian team as they aim to secure a victory in the rematch.
