As the Blue Tigers take on Afghanistan in tonight's joint FIFA World Cup 2022 and AFC Asian Cup 2023 qualifier, we remind you that India only needs a draw to secure the third spot in the group and directly qualify for the third round of the Asian Cup qualifiers. It is a must-win game for Afghanistan if they want to leapfrog India and cement their place ahead of India in the group. Will Igor Stimach's men have a conservative approach and play for the result, or will they go all out all guns blazing.
Get all the updates from the game at the tap of a finger right here on our LIVE BLOG, from the team news till the time the referee blows the final whistle. Kick off is at 7:30 pm but we will go live as soon as the team line-ups are out.
