India led 1-0 at half time.
Post match, Head Coach Goutam Ghosh said: "I am happy with the way my boys played today (Wednesday). I have maintained that rectifying our mistakes stays the aim, and the boys did that. We kept possesion better than the first match and switched flanks well too."
He added: "The first goal by Bedashwor (Singh) was a brilliant one. It was from a free kick, curled in expertly from 35-yards out. The goal made me proud."
