All to play for Jamshedpur FC against Kerala Blasters in ISL semi-final second leg - get fantasy predictions

It’s all to play for Jamshedpur FC (JFC) in the second leg of the Indian Super League 2021-22 semi-final 1 against Kerala Blasters (KBFC). The two teams will go head-to-head for the final time this season at Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco da Gama on Tuesday, March 15. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

KBFC vs JFC Dream11 prediction

To everyone’s surprise, Jamshedpur FC succumbed to a surprising 1-0 defeat against Kerala Blasters in the first leg last week that ended a seven-game winning run in the ISL. Despite beating KBFC 3-0 earlier in the season, the Red Miners just couldn’t find a way to open the scoring and were confined to just six attempts on goal.

It’s all or nothing for both teams on Tuesday and based on performances this season, we expect Jamshedpur to turn things around in the second leg.

KBFC vs JFC Dream11 team tips for Indian Super League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

JFC frontman Greg Stewart was closely marked by the Kerala defence and one can expect the English forward to face a similar tactic on Tuesday. However, given his experience of playing in the Scottish Premiership, Stewart might as well find a way to play a big role and add more points to his already illustrious tally of 1,266 fantasy points.

Top tip: Best midfielder

KBFC’s Sahal Abdul Samad was on the scoresheet against Jamshedpur in the first leg and will pose a great threat on Tuesday too. The 24-year-old midfielder has been a glaring presence in the KBFC team this season, scoring six goals and one assist, resulting in a tally of 659 fantasy points.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

Selected by 86.25 per cent fantasy users, Jamshedpur FC captain Peter Hartley is an outright pick for a defender. The veteran centre-half has been excellent this season and is one of the many reasons why the Red Miners have qualified for the playoffs in the first place. He remains a strong recommendation for this contest.

Finally, for a goalkeeper, JFC’s TP Rehnesh could prove to be a coupe instead of his competitor Prabhsukhan Singh given the former is more likely to keep a clean sheet.

KBFC vs JFC probable playing XI

KBFC playing XI (probable): Prabhsukhan Singh Gill (goalkeeper), Ruivah Hormipam, Sandeep Singh, Sanjeev Stalin, Marko Leskovic, Lalthathanga Khawlhring, Ayush Adhikari, Sahal Samad, Adrian Luna (captain), Jorge Ortiz, Alvaro Vazquez

JFC playing XI (probable): TP Rehenesh (goalkeeper); Laldinliana Renthlei, Eli Sabia, Peter Hartley (captain), Ricky Lallawmawma; Jitendra Singh, Pronay Halder; Ritwik Das, Greg Stewart, Seiminlen Doungel; Daniel Chukwu

Manchester United face Atletico Madrid in must-win UCL encounter at Old Trafford - get fantasy predictions

Manchester United (MUN) will host Atletico Madrid (ATM) in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2021-22 round of 16 clash at Old Trafford on Wednesday, March 16. The match will kick off at 1:30 AM IST.

MUN vs ATM Dream11 prediction

Manchester United enter the UCL 2021-22 round of 16 reverse fixture high on confidence after securing a 3-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend in the Premier League.

The Red Devils, who have had a start-and-stop campaign so far under interim boss Ralf Rangnick, bounced back from a 1-4 derby loss to Manchester City and face pressure to continue their Champions League campaign against a revitalized Atletico Madrid.

Diego Simeone’s Atletico have won three consecutive matches across all competitions for the first time this season, and will look to continue the winning momentum against MUFC.

In the first leg meeting, ATM were in complete control of the fixture as they registered as many as nine shots on target as opposed to Man United’s three. The meeting ended in a 1-1 draw.

As far as the head-to-head record is concerned, Atletico Madrid have won two of their three clashes against Manchester United and will start as favourites on Wednesday.

MUN vs ATM Dream11 team tips for UEFA Champions League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

Cristiano Ronaldo recently became the most prolific goalscorer in football history and thus starts as the outright top forward for the MUN vs ATM clash. The 37-year-old has recorded 25 goals and nine assists against Atletico Madrid and will look to consolidate the tally on Wednesday.

Top tip: Best midfielder

France footballer Paul Pogba will look to pull the ropes for a confident attack from the MUFC midfield against Atletico Madrid. The 28-year-old has nine assists across all competitions this term and will need to engineer a strong push for goal given the Red Devils have scored 37 goals from open play.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

Among defenders, Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi will be a worthy pick for this clash. The 25-year-old Brazilian defender spelled trouble for Manchester United on the right flank in the reverse fixture, and assisted in Joao Felix’s seventh-minute header in the 1-1 draw. MUFC have struggled with consistency on the right defensive position and that is where Lodi could prove to be a match-winner for ATM.

For the goalkeeper slot, MUFC’s David de Gea is the fantasy favoured choice over his Atletico Madrid counterpart Jan Oblak. Both the goalkeepers have kept one clean sheet so far in the Champions League, but it is de Gea who has conceded a goal less than Oblak. With 151 fantasy points, David de Gea will have a daunting task to deny ATM’s attack line on Wednesday.

MUN vs ATM probable playing XI

MUN playing XI (probable): David de Gea (goalkeeper); Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire (captain), Raphael Varane, Alex Telles; Fred, Nemanja Matic; Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, Jadon Sancho; Cristiano Ronaldo

ATM playing XI (probable): Jan Oblak (goalkeeper); Stefan Savić, Felipe, Reinildo; Llorente, Hector Herrera, Koke (captain), Rodrigo De Paul, Renan Lodi; João Félix, Antoine Griezmann

Cristiano Ronaldo becomes second-oldest player to score a Premier League hat-trick

At 37 years and 35 days, football’s all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, on Saturday, March 12, became the second-oldest player to score a Premier League hat-trick.

Up against Tottenham Hotspur in a crucial league encounter, the Portugal captain guided Manchester United to a 3-2 win over to keep the hopes of qualifying for the Champions League spots well and truly alive.

Interestingly enough, it was Ronaldo’s second Premier League hat-trick and first since 2008. His two league trebles are separated by 14 years & 59 days, which is the longest gap between hat-tricks for a player in the league.

The record for the oldest player to score a Premier League hat-trick belongs to Teddy Sheringham, who scored his treble against Bolton in 2003 while playing for Portsmouth aged 37 years and 146 days.

Gordon Strachan, by contrast, is now the third-oldest player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League. The ex-Aberdeen, Manchester United and Leeds United midfielder netted his hat-trick at the age of 36 and 60 days in 1993 while playing for the latter against Blackburn.

While Strachan was the oldest player to score a league treble at that time, he now sits third after Teddy Sheringham and Cristiano Ronaldo.

As for Ronaldo's hat-trick against Tottenham, it was historic in several ways, to say the least. To begin with, he is now football’s all-time top scorer with 807 goals for club and country. Furthermore, he has scored 14 goals against Tottenham in seven outings in his career, which is the most he has scored against any other English team.

Ronaldo's treble gave Manchester United their 400th Premier League home victory, becoming the first team to reach the milestone. An impressive 23 of those 400 wins have come against Tottenham. It is the most a team has beaten another at home in the Premier League.

Oldest players to score a Premier League hat-trick

Player	Team	Opposition	Age	Year
Teddy Sheringham	Portsmouth	Bolton	37 years and 146 days	2003
Cristiano Ronaldo	Manchester United	Tottenham Hotspur	37 years and 35 days	2021
Gordon Strachan	Leeds United	Blackburn	36 and 60 days	1993

India take on Nepal in SAFF U-18 women’s championship 2022 opener - get schedule and India match times

The India women’s football team will begin their SAFF U-18 women’s championship 2022 campaign against Nepal at the JRD Tata Complex in Jamshedpur on Tuesday, March 15.

The SAFF U-18 women’s championship 2022 will be the third edition of the tournament, with Bangladesh winning the previous two tournaments in 2018 and 2021.

India’s best performance in SAFF U-18 women’s championship came in the last edition, where they finished as runners-up to the Bangladesh women’s football team.

Head coach Thomas Dennerby earlier named a 22-member squad on Saturday, stating that the SAFF Championship will be crucial in the preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup later this year.

The 62-year-old Swedish coach, who has managed the senior India women’s football team, said he was very happy with the team but also advised caution.

“We have a lot of good players in the squad, and these girls pose a really bright future for women’s football in India. The great thing about them is that they have been properly educated about football from a very young age. The key now is to keep on with that,” Thomas Dennerby said.

“I’ve seen many players who are supremely talented at the age of 15-16, but then they disappear later on. And many who have some average talent go on to be top players in the world. So, it’s important to practice hard in an organised manner, no matter how much talent one has,” he added.

The Indian team will be up against Nepal and Bangladesh at the SAFF U-18 women’s championship, where each team plays the others twice.

India’s squad for SAFF U-18 Women’s Championship 2022

Goalkeepers: Hempriya Seram, Melody Chanu Keisham, Adrija Sarkhel

Defenders: Astam Oraon, Nisha, Ritu Devi, Purnima Kumari, Naketa, Kajal, Varshika

Midfielders: Shilky Devi Hemam, Poonam, Subhangi Singh, Priyanka Sujeesh, Martina Thokchom, Babina Devi, Nitu Linda

Forwards: Naita Kumari, Rejiya Devi, Amisha Baxla, Sunita Munda, Lynda Kom Serto

Manchester United host Tottenham in crucial encounter in race for top-four - get Premier League fantasy tips

Manchester United (MUN) host Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur (TOT) in Gameweek 29 of the Premier League 2021-22 season at Old Trafford on Saturday, March 12. The match will kick off at 11:00 PM IST.

MUN vs TOT Dream11 prediction

Historically, Manchester United have enjoyed an upper hand against Tottenham, winning an impressive 37 of their 59 Premier League games.

However, the last time these two teams played at Old Trafford, Tottenham ran riot, capitalizing on Anthony Martial’s red card to beat the Red Devils 6-1.

As far as recent form is concerned, both teams have struggled for consistency although Tottenham have managed to win crucial games. United, on the other hand, have dropped unnecessary points which might push them out of the top four race in the weeks to come. Come Saturday, we expect a draw between the teams with not much to separate the sides.

MUN vs TOT Dream11 team tips for Premier League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

Between Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane, the South Korean international remains our preferred choice considering his previous record against Manchester United. The 29-year-old scored twice during the 6-1 rout at Old Trafford last season and was on the scoresheet once again in April 2021. Given his return of 893 fantasy points this season, he remains an outright pick for this fixture.

Top tip: Best midfielder

Bruno Fernandes did struggle against Manchester City last time out, but his record against Tottenham has been excellent, to say the least. The Portuguese has scored twice and has assisted one in his last four league meetings with Tottenham. If United are to do anything positive, Fernandes will have to be at his best.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

Tottenham full-back Sergio Reguilon marked his return in some style, scoring a goal against Everton in a 5-0 win. Given how fragile United’s defence has been of late, the Spain international will be a big threat on the wings while bombing forward in attack.

As for a keeper, Hugo Lloris should be picked ahead of Manchester United’s David De Gea as the Frenchman is more likely to keep a clean sheet. Lloris has a more reliable defence in front of him and can get points through his shot-stopping ability which is bound to be tested on Saturday.

MUN vs TOT probable playing XI

MUN playing XI (probable): David De Gea (goalkeeper); Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire (captain), Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba; Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho; Cristiano Ronaldo

TOT playing XI (probable): Hugo Lloris (captain and goalkeeper); Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Ben Davies; Matt Doherty, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur, Sergio Reguilon; Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min

Hyderabad, Mohun Bagan square off in first leg of ISL 2021-22 semi-final 2 - get fantasy tips and predictions

Hyderabad FC (HFC) lock horns with ATK Mohun Bagan (ATKMB) in the first leg of the second semi-final of the Indian Super League 2021-22 season at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim on Saturday, March 12. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

HFC vs ATKMB Dream11 prediction

ATK Mohun Bagan, as a new entity, has played a total of four ISL matches against Hyderabad FC, managing to pick a solitary win out of those. Interestingly, that’s the only victory any team has ever registered while playing one another as the remaining three matches have been drawn.

This season, their first meeting ended in a 2-2 draw while the second match saw Liston Colaco and Manvir Singh guiding their team to a crucial 2-1 win.

Before suffering their first loss in their final league stage game against Jamshedpur FC, ATKMB were on a 15-game unbeaten run. Hyderabad, on the other hand, finished their league stage campaign with a 2-1 win over Mumbai City FC after slumping to a 0-3 defeat against the Red Miners.

Since both teams have largely struggled for wins in this fixture in the past, we expect this game to end in a draw ahead of the all-important second leg.

HFC vs ATKMB Dream11 team tips for Indian Super League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

Rested by his manager for the final two league stage games, star forward and ISL’s all-time top score Bartholomew Ogbeche will return to HFC’s starting XI, hoping to make a strong impact in the first leg. The 37-year-old Nigerian has scored 17 goals so far, resulting in a tally of 1,113 fantasy points. His inclusion in your fantasy team for this contest is a no-brainer.

Top tip: Best midfielder

Now registered as a midfielder, ATKMB’s Liston Colaco is an outright pick for this spot. The 23-year-old was on the scoresheet the last time these two sides met and while he remains an expensive investment at 9.5 credits, the form he is in this season makes him an undroppable presence for this fixture.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

There’s absolutely no one better than Hyderabad FC’s Akash Mishra for the defender’s role. The 20-year-old young full-back, who has two goals and three assists this season, has so far accrued 749 fantasy points which is significantly more than any other defender involved in this fixture.

And for a goalkeeper, ATKMB’s Amrinder Singh is our preferred choice ahead of HFC’s Laxmikant Kattimani since the former has been in better form and there are high chances that his team might keep a clean sheet.

HFC vs ATKMB probable playing XI

HFC playing XI (probable): Laxmikant Kattimani (goalkeeper); Nim Dorjee Tamang, Chinglensana Singh, Juanan, Akash Mishra; Joao Victor (captain), Souvik Chakrabarti; Mohammad Yasir, Joel Chianese, Rohit Danu; Bartholomew Ogbeche

ATKMB playing XI (probable): Amrinder Singh (goalkeeper); Pritam Kotal (captain), Sandesh Jhingan, Tiri, Subhasish Bose; Joni Kauko, Carl McHugh, Hugo Boumous; Liston Colaco, Manvir Singh, Roy Krishna

Jamshedpur FC, Kerala Blasters aim to take early advantage in semi-final first leg - get ISL predictions

Newly crowned League Winners' Shield champions Jamshedpur FC (JFC) take on Kerala Blasters (KBFC) in the first leg of the Indian Super League 2021-22 semi-final at the Fatorda Stadium in Margao on Friday, March 11. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

JFC vs KBFC Dream11 prediction

The head to head record between Jamshedpur FC and Kerala Blasters is dominated by the former, who have won three of their 10 meetings in the ISL. Kerala Blasters, on the other hand, have only managed a solitary win while as many as six games have been drawn.

Come Friday, we expect Owen Coyle’s men to beat KBFC for the second time in three games, having already defeated them once this season. Interestingly, the last time these two sides met, in-form forward Greg Stewart scored twice from the penalty spot while Daniel Chima Chukwu capped off a 3-0 win for the Red Miners.

JFC vs KBFC Dream11 team tips for Indian Super League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

With three goals in two games already this season against Kerala Blasters, JFC forward Greg Stewart has proved to be quite a menace for the Blasters. The former Dundee striker has been involved in 21 goals this season (G11, A10) - most by any player - making him one of the top fantasy picks for the upcoming contest.

Top tip: Best midfielder

After being dropped to the bench against FC Goa, KBFC’s Adrian Luna will return to the starting XI for the all-important semi-final first leg against Jamshedpur FC. The 29-year-old Uruguayan has accrued 930 fantasy points this season while making it to the Dream Team in eight of his last 10 outings. He’s scored five goals as well as provided seven assists this season and is a smart pick among midfielders.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

JFC captain Peter Hartley is an outright pick for a defender. The veteran center-back has tallied 528 fantasy points this season which is the most by any defender involved in this fixture. The fact that he has made it to the Dream Team in three of his last five outings should make him one of the first names in your fantasy teams.

Finally, for a keeper, JFC’s TP Rehenesh should be preferred ahead of KBFC’s Prabhsukhan Singh as the former is more likely to keep a clean sheet in the first leg.

Galatasaray face in-form FC Barcelona at Camp Nou - get UEFA Europa League 2021-22 fantasy predictions

FC Barcelona (BAR) will host Galatasaray (GAL) in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League 2021-22 round of 16 clash at Camp Nou on Friday, March 11. The match will kick off at 1:30 AM IST.

Under the tutelage of Xavi, Barcelona defeated Napoli 5-3 on aggregate in the UEFA Europa League playoff round to secure their place in the pre-quarters. The Catalans have been in great form recently and are currently on an eight-match unbeaten streak in all competitions since losing to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa Del Rey in January. Barcelona head into the fixture after securing a 2-1 win over Elche in the La Liga over the weekend.

On the other hand, Galatasaray qualified for the UEFA Europa League round of 16 this season after topping Group E in Europe’s secondary competition. Domènec Torrent’s side secured three wins and as many draws in the six matches, finishing with 12 points, three points ahead of second-placed Lazio in Group E. The Istanbul-based club head into the Barcelona game after suffering a 0-2 defeat against Konyaspor in the Super Lig on Saturday.

BAR vs GAL Dream11 prediction

FC Barcelona and Galatasaray have faced each other eight times in UEFA tournaments, winning five of the eight matches that they played so far. Galatasaray have secured just a solitary win while two matches have ended in draws. All of the matches were group games of the UEFA Champions League between 1993 and 2002.

Furthermore, Barcelona are undefeated against Galatasaray at home, winning three and playing one stalemate. Going by past record and recent form, BAR are likely to secure a win in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 match at Camp Nou on Friday.

BAR vs GAL Dream11 team tips for UEFA Europa League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

New recruit Ferran Torres has already made an impressive start to his FC Barcelona career since his move from Premier League side Manchester City. The 22-year-old has scored three goals for Barcelona including converting a penalty against Napoli in the UEFA Europa League. Torres has already accrued 110 fantasy points and will be a great pick for this clash at 9.5 credits.

Top tip: Best midfielder

Netherlands footballer Frenkie de Jong has been in great form for FC Barcelona in the ongoing season. The young midfielder has rediscovered his mojo back under manager Xavi, scoring four goals and providing three assists in all competitions. Having already accumulated 124 fantasy points, Frenkie de Jong will be a valuable addition to any fantasy side for this high-profile encounter.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

Among defenders, Galatasaray center-back Marcos Teixeira will be a worthy pick for this clash. The 25-year-old Brazilian defender has been rock solid at the back alongside Victor Nelsson, conceding just three goals in six games in the Europa League. Teixeira has already amassed 131 fantasy points - the most by any player in this fixture and will look to add more to his tally against Barcelona at Camp Nou.

For the goalkeeper slot, FC Barcelona’s Marc-Andre Ter Stegen will be the preferred choice over his Galatasaray counterpart. The Barcelona custodian has been in great form for the Catalans in their last five matches, helping them secure four wins and one draw. He will once again play a pivotal role against a formidable Galatasaray side on Friday.

BAR vs GAL probable playing XI

BAR playing XI (probable): Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (goalkeeper); Sergino Dest, Ronald Araujo, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba; Pedri, Sergio Busquets (captain), Frenkie de Jong; Adama Traore, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres

GAL playing XI (probable): Inaki Pena (goalkeeper); Omar Elabdellaoui, Marcos Teixeira, Victor Nelsson, Patrick Van Aanholt; Erick Pulgar; Berkan Kutlu; Olimpiu Morutan, Ryan Babel, Kerem Akturkoglu; Mostafa Mohamed

Real Madrid hope to turn things around against PSG - get UCL 2021-22 fantasy tips and prediction

Real Madrid (RM) will host Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in a UEFA Champions League 2022-21 round of 16 second leg tie at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday, March 10. The match will kick off at 1:30 AM IST.

RM vs PSG Dream11 prediction

On paper, PSG do have a 1-0 advantage heading into the second leg tie, but one cannot discount the fact that Real Madrid haven’t lost a home match since late September last year. Since their 1-2 home defeat against Sheriff in the UCL group stage, the Los Blancos have won 11 of their last 14 games at home while drawing the rest.

PSG, on the other hand, have had trouble winning games of late. The Ligue 1 leaders have lost two of their last three league matches and with Kylian Mbappe, who scored the decisive injury-time winner against Madrid, also a doubt, the team might face a defeat on Thursday.

We expect Real Madrid’s midfield to work their magic and turn the tie on its head.

RM vs PSG Dream11 team tips for UEFA Champions League 2021-22

Top tip: Best attacker

Real Madrid frontman Karim Benzema hasn’t played much in the Champions League this season, but the French forward has somehow managed to accrue 130 fantasy points in his limited three UCL outings. The 34-year-old has been directly involved in seven goals (four goals, three assists) in his last four home games, making him a top pick for this position.

Top tip: Best midfielder

Coming on the back of a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad, midfield maestro Luka Modric is certain to keep a keen eye on. The Croatia captain accumulated 29 fantasy points the last time he squared off against PSG and despite ending up on the losing side, he managed to get a place in the Dream Team.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

With PSG struggling to cope with the opposition attacks, a certain Dani Carvajal might prove to be a coup for this contest. The Spanish international has so far tallied 178 fantasy points in four UCL outings, including a return of 38 points against PSG last time out.

Real Madrid custodian Thibaut Courtois was forced to make eight saves against PSG in the first leg tie, resulting in him accruing a whopping 104 fantasy points from the contest. One can expect a similar performance from the Belgium international on Thursday.

RM vs PSG probable playing XI

RM playing XI (probable): Thibaut Courtois (goalkeeper); Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Marcelo; Luka Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos; Federico Valverde, Karim Benzema (captain), Vinicius Jr

PSG playing XI (probable): Gianluigi Donnarumma (goalkeeper); Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos (captain), Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes; Danilo, Marco Verratti, Idrissa Gueye; Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria, Neymar

Fresh injury forces Sunil Chhetri to sit out friendlies against Bahrain and Belarus

Indian men's national football team captain Sunil Chhetri has been ruled out of the upcoming international friendlies against Bahrain and Belarus.

The 37-year-old striker, India's all-time leading goalscorer, told the AIFF website he will miss the upcoming two fixtures to recover from a 'few small injuries'.

"I was really looking forward to the two friendlies against Baharain and Belarus and it's a shame I'll be missing out. It's been a long, tough season and I've suffered a few small injuries that need time to heal. I will be doing all I can to recover in time for the predatory camp in May," Chhetri said.

"The potential this squad possesses is immense, and a lot of the lads are riding high on confidence on the back of good performances in the League season. I'm certain we'll put out best foot forward. I'm wishing the team all the luck," he added.

The news comes shortly after head coach Igor Stimac named a list of 38 probables for the back-to-back international friendlies last week.

The preparatory camp will start in Pune from March 10. The players whose clubs would be playing in the semifinals of the ongoing Indian Super League 2021-22 will be joining the camp as and when their club commitments end. The list will be pruned later and the Indian squad will depart for Bahrain on March 21.

The Blue Tigers are scheduled to play Bahrain on March 23, and Belarus on March 26, with both matches kicking off at 9.30 pm IST.
