According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Bangladesh has faced challenges in the tournament so far, struggling to make a competitive impression against Asia's top hockey teams. The team, led by coach Peter Gerhard, has lost all three of their opening league matches, managing to score only one goal while conceding 20.
The opening match saw Bangladesh suffer a heavy 13-0 defeat against host India. In their subsequent matches, Bangladesh narrowly lost to Japan with a score of 1-0 and were defeated by Malaysia 6-1.
