Asian Champions Trophy 2016: India vs South Korea in Semi-final

Team India ranked number one in the prelim matches tally and they will now be meeting South Korea in the semi finals of the 4th Asian Champions Trophy Hockey Tournament being held in Malaysia.

Round Robin: Standings

Koreans conceded a late equaliser to Malaysia and finished fourth in the round-robin league standings here on Thursday and Pakistan defeated China 4-0 to take their points tally to nine, the same as Malaysia before the last outing against the Koreans, who had seven points ahead of the last match.

Pakistan s goal-difference was far inferior to that of hosts Malaysia, so a tie on points would put Malaysia ahead.

Malaysia needed a victory or a draw to take the second spot in the group, but a victory in the last outing would have lifted the Koreans to the second place in the standings, pushing Malaysia down to the third spot and Pakistan to the fourth.

In case of a Korean victory, India's semifinal would have been against Pakistan, but now India would meet South Korea in the semi finals on the 29th of October, 2016.
