Team News:
The Blue Tigers will have a couple of notable absentees for the Cambodia match. Rahul Bheke is out of the first match, while Lalengmawia will play no part in the qualifiers. Ritwik Das has contracted Chicken pox and has been replaced with Deepak Tangri in the squad.
Liston Colaco is struggling with a slight injury, but is expected to be fit for the game. Chinglensana Singh is also fit after recovering from a knock. India should play a more attack-minded formation for this game, possibly a 4-3-3 formation.

The front three should involve Liston and Sunil Chhetri both, while Manvir Singh could get the nod because of his experience of playing at the Salt Lake Stadium. The midfield should include Anirudh Thapa, Sahal Abdul Samad, and Suresh Singh for lots of energy as well as creativity.
