Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's LIVE updates of the match between India U16 and Malaysia U16!

Bibiano Fernandes' boys are gearing up to go up against a strong Malaysia U16 side today.

AIFF has constantly organized exposure Tours and friendly matches for the Blue Colts in a bid to prepare them for the upcoming AFC U16 Championship -- that is set to take place in Malaysia in September.

The young colts have played exceptionally well in the recent past, showing great character in some of the matches. The results in the previous three matches of the India U16 side has been W D L -- in that order. The colts clinched a 2-0 win against Thailand's Buriram United U17 and came back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw against Bangkok Glass FC. They were also leading 1-0 in the latest match against Thailand but a few momentary lapses in concentration cost them the match (lost 1-2).

Bibiano Fernandes will be looking to make some tactical changes in the upcoming match. The young colts will also give it their all on the field after a setback in the previous match. This sets us up for an exhilarating encounter. Stay tuned!
