India's opponents in the last four on Saturday will be Thailand, who claimed a stunning 4-3 victory over a Kazakhstan.

The other semi-final will be contested between Poland and Malaysia. Goals from Oriana Walasek, Natalia Wisniewska, captain Marlena Rybacha and Magdalena Zagajska earned Poland a 4-2 win over higher-ranked Russia while Malaysia overcame a strong challenge from Ghana to emerge 2-0 winners thanks to strikes from Norazlin Sumantri and Hanis Onn.
