Nepal in front of them again at Dashrath Stadium in Kathmandu. If they beat the hosts again, Sabina Khatun-Tahura Khatun will taste the trophy for the second time in a row. Although they understand that the final will be difficult in the opponent's field, they are all looking forward to return home with the trophy. The final match of Dhundhuma will be at quarter past seven Bangladesh time.
Two years ago, the Sabinas celebrated with the trophy for the first time after defeating Nepal 3-1 at this Dashrath ground. Wednesday is the moon again. That's why the captain Sabina is dreaming about the trophy after coming to the press conference on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old forward has already said that the match will be tough. In Sabina's words, 'I am happy to see Nepal in the final. Hope the audience will enjoy tomorrow's finale. The final will not be easy for anyone, it will be a tough match.'
The pressure will be more on the host, Nepal or Bangladesh! Sabina made it clear, 'We will have some difficulties. Many of the team are young. Many have experience playing in this field. I think the home team is under more pressure.
Recently there has been a lot of buzz around the conflict between coach Peter Butler and the girls. But Sabina said in a confident voice, 'I am confident about my team. The way the girls played football despite all the controversies they went through is incredible. It should be appreciated. I am personally grateful to them. I don't think you will find anything lacking on the field. You said, how are the girls playing so good football? I think that's what girls will hold on to.'
In the last words, Sabina said that they will play for the title, 'Of course I will want… the prayers of the people of the country. Last time we had hope, we kept it. It is a relief that the girls are playing good football now. I think the girls will play to win the title.
