India are all set to resume their World Cup qualifiers on June 3 against Qatar, a team that is 47 places higher in the FIFA rankings.
The Blue Tigers are currently placed fourth in Group E with three points from five matches. Qatar are at the top of the table with 13 points while Oman are hot on their heels with 12.
Igor Stimac's side are nearly out of contention for the top two spots but a third-place finish is well within the reach. It will help book them a direct berth in the third round for the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers.
If India finishes fourth then also they can qualify for the Asian Cup qualifying third round if they finish amongst the four best fourth-placed teams across all groups. If India finishes fifth in the table, they will have to participate in the Asian Cup Qualifying play-off round.
