India are all set to take on Afghanistan in their fourth match of the 2022 World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup joint qualifiers round at Dushanbe, Tajikistan on Thursday evening.
This is a very important tie for the Indian side who have managed to collect only two points from their first three games. Thus, Igor Stimac’s side has to win against Afghanistan to keep their hopes alive of making it to the next round of the qualification stage for the World Cup.
Although Afghanistan are ranked 43 places behind India in the FIFA rankings, the Blue Tigers face numerous hurdles against the Afghans.
