It has been 60 years since India last made it past the group stage of the Asian Cup, and the wait will be even longer if they lose to Uzbekistan today at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium. Uzbekistan is the highest ranked team in the tournament. The India-Uzbekistan match can be watched live from anywhere with a VPN.

Uzbekistan team: Yusupov, Seifiev, Shklov, Shamrobekov, Masharipov, Ulunov, Nasrullaev, Eshmurodov, Sergeyev, Faizullaev, Kusanov

Igor Stimac's tactic of sitting deep and absorbing pressure worked beautifully in the first 45 minutes against Australia.

Skipper Sunil Chhetri was energetic up front, but was too isolated and could have used a leg up.

Uzbekistan will be disappointed to have finished the match against Syria with only one point after dominating the game. The team's 23-year-old protégé, Oston Ulunov, is being touted as a potential star of the tournament, but he will need to make up for lost time if that is to come to fruition.
