This was Harmanpreet’s eighth goal of the tournament. After crashing to a shocking 3-5 defeat against Japan in the semi-final, India face Pakistan in the third/fourth place match playoff in Dhaka on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Pakistan lost to South Korea in their semi-final match in a 5-6 thriller. Both India and Pakistan have faced each other once in the round-robin stage with the former coming out on top in a 3-1 win. India will look to win again on Wednesday and seal third spot in the tournament.
