India take on whipping girls United Arab Emirates in a Group B clash of the AFC U-16 Women's Championship China 2015 Qualifiers at the Bangabandhu Stadium here tomorrow.
As things stand, India will now have to win both their matches against UAE and Jordan and hope Jordan or Bangladesh put a spanner in the works of current table toppers Iran.
Indian girls need a big win tomorrow to keep themselves in the hunt in case goal difference becomes the deciding factor.
At the moment Iran occupy pole position with six points from two matches with Bangladesh second with same number of points but having played a match more. Jordan and India are on three points each from two matches but the West Asian country are six ahead on goal difference.
"This is a match where we have to settle the difference of goals. We know we need to win the next two to stay in the hunt," head coach Maymol Rocky said.
