Ireland will face India in their World Cup quarter-finals this Thursday, following India's win over Italy.
The meeting will be a rematch of their Pool B clash earlier in the tournament in London, which resulted in a 1-0 victory for Graham Shaw's side.
India overcame Italy 3-0 to send them through to the quarter-finals, while Ireland had already booked their place in the knockout stages as winners of Pool B following wins over America and India.
They lost their last group game to World Number 2 side England last weekend, but they have impressed at the tournament so far and will be eager to secure a place in the semi-finals of their first World Cup in 16 years.
