South Korea and India have seven points from six matches. Both were joint winners after last year's final was washed out due to heavy rains. The fifth-place play-off match will be held Sunday.

South Korea took the lead in the 10th minute after Yoon Sung-Hoon sounded the board. Ten minutes later, Britain equalised through Matthew Daly.

Within three minutes, Korea again nosed ahead when Jeon scored.

You Hyo-Sik converted a penalty corner in the 41st minute to make it 3-1.
