The Green Shirts need to avoid defeat in the match to qualify for the semi-finals. On the other hand, India have already booked their spot in the last four.
Pakistan will also qualify for the semis if Japan isn’t able to beat China during the first match of the day.
Meanwhile, Korea’s defeat against Malaysia will also favour Pakistan but qualification for the semis, in that case, could come down to goal difference especially if Japan beat China.
Pakistan are currently in fourth position on the points table with five points after four games.
