A sixth-minute goal from Elizabeth Neal and Sabbie Heesh's save from a penalty stroke with 100 seconds left, was enough to seal the win in Berlin on Saturday, ensuring they would definitely finish above India in the nine-team table.

Germany won 4-2 in the second game on Sunday to secure their own survival, sealing India's relegation and ensuring England end the campaign in seventh place.
England's men were already safe from relegation going to the weekend and also ended the season seventh after losing both games against Belgium.
They were comfortably beaten 3-1 in Saturday's first game in Antwerp, with Jacob Payton scoring their only goal.
Sunday's game was much closer, with Zachary Wallace, Phil Roper, Will Calnan and Liam Sanford on target in a thrilling 4-4 draw.
That sent the game to penalties, but Wallace, Roper and Stuart Rushmere missed their efforts to seal a 3-0 shootout success for the hosts.
The Netherlands had already secured top spot in both the men's and women's competition before the final round of matches.

Nikita Parris to join newly-promoted London City Lionesses from Brighton
Nikita Parris is poised to join Women's Super League side London City Lionesses after her contract with Brighton & Hove Albion expired. Parris is set to become the latest signing to join London City in a busy summer since their promotion. The club, which is owned by American investor Michelle Kang, have already completed the signings of Danielle van de Donk from Lyon, Sanni Franssi and Elene Lete from Real Sociedad, Isa Kardinaal from Ajax, Teyah Goldie from Arsenal and Poppy Pattinson, also from Brighton. Parris joined Brighton from Manchester United in summer 2024 and scored seven goals in 22 appearances for the club in last season's top flight. The 31-year-old made her senior debut for hometown club Everton in 2010, aged 16, and has since represented Manchester City, OL Lyonnes, Arsenal, United and Brighton. The winger helped Lyon to the Champions League in 2020 as part of a treble-winning campaign, and won the Women's Super League with City in 2016. She has twice won the FA Cup, with City and United, in 2017 and 2024, respectively. A member of England's Euro 2022 winning squad, Parris has won 74 caps for the Lionesses, scoring 17 goals, with her last appearance for the national team coming in February this year. The forward was left out of Sarina Wiegman's England squad for this summer's Euros. She described the decision as 'very disappointing' at the time but insisted she would not have done anything differently during the campaign. 'It's always hard when you get that sort of news,' Parris said in a podcast with Sky Sports. 'The biggest thing for me is that I gave it everything. People say, 'Do you have any regrets or anything you wish you would have done?' And I don't. 'Because of that, there's nothing I can say I wish I could've, would've, should've done.'
