Although the Koreans won three sets to India's one, all of them were closely contested. South Korea, comprising An San and Kim Je Deok, won the first two sets — 35-32, 38-37 - before the Indian pair bounced back winning the third 37-35.

The Koreans then sealed the final set 36-33 with the Indians struggling to get a decent score in their four shots.
