Nepal women's team coach Hari Khadka said his side is weaker but mentality and fighting spirit of the team is higher than any team in Hero women's cup.

Nepal, ranked 106, stunned Iran, ranked 60th, 3-0 on Wednesday at Kalinga stadium to put feet closer to the finals of Hero cup.

Earlier they defeated hosts India 2-1. They lost 3-0 to Myanmar in the opening match on February 9.

Khadka said, "We are the weakest team in the competition. We are under dogs. But mentality and the fighting spirit is different.

"Today our strategy worked out. In fact, we wanted to play counter game. Girls played really well. I would like to salute them for this victory", said Khadka.

"Girls look motivated after India win. I am very happy with their display", he added.

"We are preparing for SAFF championship. We are here (in Bhubaneshowr) to learn more, to find our weakness. We would like to play Myanmar in the final", he further added.
