Pakistan will contest a Group B fixture against the Philippines at Bandung's Si Jalak Harupat Stadium. FIFA described the meeting scheduled for Tuesday as a must-win clash for both Pakistan and the Philippines.
The kick-off time is set for 4pm local time, which equates to 2pm PST. Previously, Pakistan suffered a 4-0 defeat to Thailand.
In that opening match, Teerasak Poeiphimai scored twice, while Jude Soonsup-Bell and an own goal accounted for the remaining two goals. Mohibullah made an important interception during Pakistan's initial match against Thailand.
Ali Raza also produced a timely sliding tackle during the opening half hour of the game against Thailand. Yousuf Butt made a fine save on the half-hour mark during the contest against Thailand.
Thailand initially broke the deadlock in the 31st minute after Teerasak followed up following a save by Yousuf on Jude Soonsup-Bell's header. Soonsup-Bell subsequently doubled the lead before the half concluded.
Coach Nolberto Solano made three changes during the interval. The Philippine Football Federation confirmed that the Fifa international-window status permitted the call-up of key players from clubs abroad.
Pakistan currently competes in Division One of the 14-team inaugural Fifa Asean Cup. Furthermore, Pakistan's final fixture against Vietnam is scheduled for 2 October.
Earlier this year, Pakistan achieved an unbeaten record at the Diamond Jubilee International Football Tournament in the Maldives.
