It's a North American semifinal for Canada and the USA after their wins against New Zealand's second team and Japan.

The USA were made to work for their win but will go into the semifinal confident they're playing better than they were when they lost to Australia on the opening night.

Australia beat New Zealand to book their semifinal against China and must start as favourites after an unbeaten run in Auckland.

The host's top team will play Kazakhstan while the second side play Japan.
