Indian coach Srinivas Reddy stated, "We have tried various team combinations, so far, in this tournament. Now, we're heading close to the business end. So, the time for experimentation is coming to an end. Our focus is, now, on winning the semifinal and the final, and returning home as the champion."

Srinivas added, "Pakistan and Iran are the two toughest teams in the field. I expected South Korea to be a strong contender, but they haven't been able to perform at their best."

The results:

Iran bt Argentina 57-27; India bt Kenya 50-15.
