India vs Kuwait

Indian team will be playing Kuwait tomorrow after a defeat against the mighty Iraq in the previous match.

Kuwait are a tough side to beat and especially when your star strikers (Bhutia and Chhetri) are out due to injuries. India in all the likelihood will be coming up with the same team that was fielded by Bob in the last match against Iraq.

So Sushil Kumar Singh along with Abhishek Yadav are expected to start the match while Rafi might contribute to the team in the latter stages.
