In the first semifinal, three-time champions Pakistan will take on hosts China at 1:15 PM IST, while in the second semifinal, the defending champions India will face the 2021 champions Korea from 3:30 PM IST.
The Indian hockey team will have the upper hand when they take the field for the second semifinal, as the Men in Blue are the only team to enter the knockout stage by winning all five group stage games. They also have a strong head-to-head record against the Korean side in the Asian Champions Trophy.
In the seven encounters these two teams have played in the competition so far, India has won five, while two games ended in a draw.
However, Korea will fancy their chances with striker Y Jihun, who is currently the highest goal-scorer in the tournament with seven goals to his name.
Ahead of the semifinal matches, Japan defeated Malaysia 4-2 in the penalty shootout. In the regulation 60 minutes, both the teams scored 4 goals each.
