The home team secured a berth in the finals of next year's AFC event in Thailand with a 4-2 win against Chinese Taipei on Saturday. Captain Krishna Rani put Bangladesh ahead in the third minute when she rose above her marker to head in Marzia's corner. Defender Shamsunnahar failed to convert a spotkick in the 36th minute after Krishna had been brought down inside the UAE box. Krishna scored her second goal after the break to take her tally to eight goals in the competition. She slotted in a right footer off a dipping corner of Sanjida Akhter to give Bangladesh a two-goal cushion.
