Captain Anup Kumar will drive the team forward against Friday’s opponents Thailand, who came to the tournament with a young squad that is fit, agile and boasts of a strong defence. Led by Khomsan Thongkam, the team put up quite a challenge in the group stage by beating a very physical Kenya. They displayed brilliant composure in their last group stage match against Japan recovering from 8 points down to come back and win.

In the first semi-final, South Korea will take on Iran. The Korean contingent won all five matches in the group stage to top the group ahead of India. Captain Dong Ju Hong and team will look towards charismatic raider Jan Kun Lee to energise the team.
