New Zealand will play Australia in the semi-finals and England will play India.
"It's a bloody exciting opportunity (playing Australia)," said Devine.
"A lot of pressure is on them, they're expected to win gold, whereas we're a young side and many may have never picked us to make the semi-finals."
"However we're going to have to be a hell of a lot better than we were today."
The semi-finals are on Sunday morning New Zealand time.
