In the 81st minute, India's Karisma Sirvokar bounced the ball from Nirmala Devi's free kick and returned the goal. However, the goal was not enough for a tie and Nepal registered a 2-1 victory.
Once again Savitra was the hero in the win against India. She has scored 10 goals against India so far. Overall, Savitra has scored 68 goals for Nepal. In the first match, Nepal lost to Iran 3-0. Before that, India lost to Iran by 290 runs. The Nepali team reached Shillong with the goal of winning the title, but the chances ended after they lost in the first game.
