Preview
India come into this after a 2-0 loss to Jordan in their previous friendly match played in May earlier this year.
Amarah and Zraiq scored the goals for the visitors as India went through successive losses.
The Blue Tigers had earlier lost to Belarus in a friendly clash as well, due to which they will be lacking confidence.
A turnaround is needed as the Asian Cup Qualifiers begin if India is to seek to the next round.
On the other hand, Cambodia lost 4-0 to Vietnam in their last match played last year in December.
Linh scored twice while Bui and Nguyen also found the net for the Cambodia side.
This was Cambodia’s 3rd defeat in 4 matches across competitions, leaving them with just 1 win since December.
In the AFF Suzuki Cup, Cambodia finished 4th in their group and could not create much of an impression winning 3 points from 4 matches.
A good start is key in these qualifiers as the matches come thick and fast without much respite.
