AFC U17 Asian Cup
India will be equally determined as defeat will mean the end of their campaign in the three-team group, having lost 4-0 to Australia on Wednesday.
Uzbekistan, who won the title for the second time last year, will have a new head coach in charge, with Sergey Chigodaev having replaced Islombek Ismoilov but the tactician has several players from the title-winning squad at his disposal.
Defender Muhammad Khakimov and forward Asilbek Aliev will provide the experience and nous, with Uzbekistan determined to retain the title after winning it with nine players in a pulsating final against Saudi Arabia in 2025.

#AFCU17 - Group D: Australia 4-0 India
India have no option but to go for the win but goalkeeper Rajrup Sakar admitted it will be another tough match.
“We were aware of Australia’s attacking prowess and I was mentally prepared and knew that they would come at us all out,” said Sarkar. “They (Uzbekistan) will also come at us physically, that’s their style. But if we are mentally strong, we should be able to deal with them.”
