India can still move to the Round of 16 only if: 

 

India beat Syria

Lebanon and Tajikistan play a draw
And then one of the other two teams placed third and fourth in their group with zero points to their name, play a draw against each other. 

 

If those three things happen in unison, India could move to the Round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed teams in the competition at the group stage.

They will take on Syria in their final group match and a win there could still see them progress, but that would only come with permutations and combinations.
