The first match of the final round of group matches took place between Korea and Malaysia and resulted in a 3-3 draw. The splitting of points confirmed Korea's qualification to the semifinal. The draw also ensured that Pakistan would finish second in the group regardless of their result in their last group match against India.

India were already confirmed a top finish and Japan were eliminated. Pakistan claimed the second spot after Korea's draw against Malaysia, the result that saw Korea also booking their semifinal spot.
