## Ranking of second-placed teams[edit]

Only one second-placed team will qualify for the semi finals.

Due to Indonesia and Myanmar's withdrawals, Group B is left with only two teams. Thus, the second-placed team from Group B will not be included to determine the best runner-up team.

Result against fourth-placed team in Group A was not considered for this ranking.
