India possible 11:
Sandhu, Jhingan, Hormipam, Mishra, Fernandes, Ali, Singh, Fernandes, Singh, Thapa and Chhetri
Jordan possible 11:
Laila, Hasheesh, Hourani, Naseeb, Haddad, Zurayq, Abdulrahman, Al-Rawabdeh, Mardi, Olwan and Naimat
Prediction: India 0-2 Jordan
This should be a good contest given the length of time after which the two teams are playing.
To this date, India has played Jordan once and ended up on the losing side. Hence, this should be an interesting watch.
However, we see Jordan getting the win here due to their broader experience and giving a tough fight to a WC team in Egypt.
