On the other hand, three-time champions Pakistan also secured their second successive win of the competition after beating China 3-1 on Thursday to book their place in the semi-finals. Pakistan now have 8 points from four games with two draws and two wins. They are the only undefeated side in the competition alongside India. The two teams will now square off in their final group stage match on Saturday.
Korea, despite losing to India, are still well within reach of securing semi-finals qualification. They have 5 points from four games and will need a draw in their final game to go through. Malaysia jumped two spots and are now in the top four after their 5-4 win over Japan on Thursday. However, they will need to win their final game against Korea to secure a final-four spot.
China, after losing their second successive match against Pakistan, have now dropped down to the number five spot with 3 points from four games. They will need to beat Japan in their final game to qualify for the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Japan, after their third consecutive loss, have dropped down to number six and will need to win their final game by a huge margin to keep their semi-final chances alive.
The teams will now have a rest day on September 13 before returning for their final group stage games on September 14.
