India will take on Korea while the hosts will engage Pakistan in the Saturday semifinal of the fourth Asian Champions Trophy being staged in the port city of Kuantan, Malaysia.

On the last league day today, Pakistan confirmed its place in the semifinal with a fluent 4-0 win against China. With three wins and two loses, Pak thus collected nine points in the six-nation event.

The semifinal lineup had to wait till the last match played out.

The Korea-Malaysia contest ultimately cleared the picture.

Korea could not keep its 38th minute lead given by centre-forward Junwoo Jeong, who deflected a cross into D over the head of otherwise alert Malaysian goalie Kumar Subramaniam.

Had Korea kept up the lead throughout, they would have again played Malaysia in the semis.

However, Malaysian star Razie Rahim levelled the score four minutes before hooter (1-1) to force a draw.

With three wins and point Malaysia finished second (10m points), Korea fourth (8 points) and Pakistan 3rd.

Indian team suffered a set back when the Technical Delegate of the ACT imposed a two match suspension on Surender Kumar for committing Level 2 offence as per the FIH Code of Conduct.
