Pakistan, which had lost 1-2 to Czech Republic in its opening Group F match in the morning, made amends by crushing lowly Zimbabwe 3-0 in the evening session.
Pakistan settled for second spot in Group F and thus will play India, which topped Group E for a spot in the last eight.
In two earlier meetings, Pakistan had beaten India, once in 2006 in a Group league and in 2008 in the semi-final.
In other matches, Malaysia struggled against lower- ranked France, eking out a 2-1 victory while second-seeded Canada was pushed by Argentina before registering a 2-1 win over Argentina.
