Speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing national camp at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here yesterday, the Australian said: "We will feel the pressure, but I am 90-95 per cent confident we will qualify.

If something does not go awfully wrong or we don't have a really bad game or bad umpiring decisions, we should qualify."

India must win a six-nation qualifier that includes Canada, France, Poland, Italy and USA to make it to London.
