India thrashed Maldives 3-0 in their final group game at Kathmandu's ANFA Complex on Tuesday.

India cruised into the semis as group champions with full points winning their opener 2-0 against Afghanistan.

Bangladesh won their first match 2-0 against Bhutan but slumped to a 2-1 defeat against hosts Nepal.

India's win has setup the neighbouring countries' second football clash within 10 days.

Bangladesh colts beat India in two meets, including the final, to win the SAFF Under-16 Championship trophy for the first time last week.

Nepal and Afghanistan will play in the other semi-final match. Both matches are set for Thursday.
