India were held to a goalless draw by Bangladesh in their opening match of the SAFF Under-18 Championship at Kathmandu today.

India started the match on an attacking note but an injury to goalkeeper Prabhsukan Singh Gill in the ninth minute forced coach Floyd Pinto to make an early change.

India will play Sri Lanka in their last group stage match of the Championship on Wednesday. Top two teams from the group will qualify for the semi-finals slated for Friday.
