India 2-1 Bhutan
Seeking to defend their title, India started on the front foot and took the lead through PV Vishnu's individual brilliance in ninth minute.

Cutting in from the left side of the box, he nutmegged a Bhutan defender before finding the far corner with a precise right-footed strike.

Having squandered several opportunities, India finally doubled their advantage in the 27th minute when Bhutan failed to clear a corner, with captain Chinglesana Singh reacting quickest to the loose ball and sending his volley into the net.

Bhutan pulled one back three minutes into the second half with Ghencho Gyeltshen finding Kinzang Tashi at the far post, with the goal initially ruled out but awarded following a VAR review.

At the other end, India had a penalty overruled following a VAR review but they held on to their lead to progress.

Bangladesh 0-1 Pakistan
The second semi-final was a much tighter affair with neither side able to find an opening.

That, however, changed in the 86th minute with Abdul Samad scoring what proved to be the winner.

Tuesday's final promises to be a thriller, with India having defeated Pakistan 3-2 when the sides met in the group stage.
