13' - India misses!

Yet another PC for India and they miss the drag flick once again. The rebounds go begging as well this time.

12' - PAWAANNNNN!

Pawan goes on a scoring spree. Goal number 2 for India, goal number 2 for Pawan Rajbhar. The drag flick is blocked well by the rusher, Raj Kumar comes up with a rebound which is saved by the Indonesian goalkeeper.

The ball, however, deflects to Pawan Rajbhar, who finally finds the net with a nice little chip.

6' - Uttam hits it wide!

First real chance of the match and Uttam Singh shells it. A nice little penetration and pass from the right flank, which finds Uttam Singh to perfection. He, however, fails to slot it in.

A couple of penetrations from India in the first two minutes, but the Indonesians deny with clean interception and tackle.

Time for National Anthems!

India's Jana Gana Mana followed by the Indonesia Raya.

Can Birendra Lakra and co turn up the heat? Or is it too much of an ask already?

JAPAN BEATS PAKISTAN!

Big news for the Indians as their arch-rivals Pakistan have been downed 3-2 by a spirited Japanese side. This means that Birendra Lakra and boys are still afloat in Asia Cup 2022.

India now needs a big win against Indonesia to make it into the semifinals. A tough ask for the men in blue, but not completely impossible.
