AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022:
Iran play out a 0-0 draw against host India

Iran began their AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022 campaign with a 0-0 draw against India at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.

After the draw, India is second in the Group A points table, behind eight-time champions China. Iran is third and Chinese Taipei fourth.
