Team India faces a formidable challenge in the AFC Asian Cup, placed in Group B alongside Australia, Uzbekistan, and Syria. The Sunil Chhetri-led side needs to secure positive results against strong opponents to progress to the knockout stage. The team’s first match is against Australia, currently ranked 25th, and a favorable outcome could significantly enhance their chances of advancing. However, subsequent matches against Uzbekistan on January 18th and Syria pose additional challenges. To secure a spot in the round of 16, India may need to secure crucial points and aim for a win against Syria, potentially earning a place as one of the top two teams in the group or as one of the four best third-placed teams across six groups.
