It was also the same old story for the Nepalese, who suffered defeats by huge margin against another Asian giant India (0-21) and Pakistan (0-19) in their previous two matches.

Dipendra scored the consolation goal for the losers in the 60th minute.
Sri Lanka, which lost 3-1 to host Bangladesh in its first match, pushed the Nepalese into their own half with their better, attacking display and did not allow the vanquished any space to make any move.
