Japan are likely to take the fourth spot for Asian teams in qualifying tournaments for next year’s World Cup Finals.
Japan are to play in the fifth-sixth place playoff tomorrow against the winners of today’s classification match between India and Bangladesh.
The Asia Cup offers the champions a direct entry to the World Cup Finals and the next four teams go into qualifying tournaments. If Japan play against India tomorrow, they will get into the qualifiers even if they lose the match because India are automatic qualifiers for the Finals as hosts.
There will be three qualifying tournaments involving six teams each and they will be held in Lille, Auckland and Dubai.
