LIndian women's football captain Vanlahriattiri feels her side has the potential to top the group after it thrashed Pakistan in their opening match of the AFC U-19 Womens' Championship qualifiers.
India began their qualification campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan with an 18-0 win on Wednesday.
"We have Pakistan, Nepal, and Thailand in our group. I think we are in a good position, compared to these teams, and can get the desired results. I wouldn't be surprised if we manage to top our group," Vanlahriattiri told AIFF.Com.
India will take on Nepal on Friday followed by hosts Thailand on October 28.
India produced a good show in the SAFF U-18 Women's Championship earlier this month. They ended the tournament with a Bronze medal. Now, however, they will have a sterner test as they look to qualify for the continental competition.
