In preparation for the upcoming AFC Under-16 qualifiers scheduled to be held in the UAE, the Indian Under-16 team is currently touring Sri Lanka.
India's U-16 boys drew their second game of their friendly tour of the Emerald Isle, as they played their bench strength against the hosts and came out with a goalless draw.
Over-all the game ended up being an even affair, with the hosts dominating the first half while the Indian juniors upped the tempo and attacking thrust in the second period. But both teams were unable to breach the goalkeepers, as the match ended scoreless.
In the first friendly match against Sri Lanka, India had scored a 1-0 victory.
