The gulf in the class was there for everyone to see, but 10-man India produced a valiant effort in their 0-1 defeat against Asian heavyweights Qatar. The defeat in their Group E, joint qualifying match for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2023 AFC Asian Cup tournaments left India in fourth place, just above Bangladesh, who earlier played out a draw with Afghanistan. Qatar, still undefeated in the campaign, sit pretty at the top with six wins from seven outings. They have 19 points. Oman are second with 12 points from five matches (four wins and a defeat). Afghans are third with five points from six matches (1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats). India have three points (3 draws, 3 defeats), while Bangladesh have two points (2 draws, 4 defeats).
