Games were called off Sunday in the second round of the Owen G Glenn FIH Champions Trophy tournament in Auckland, after heavy rain made the pitch unplayable. The matches, which will see top seeds Australia play Britain, and Germany meet arch rivals the Netherlands, were rescheduled to Monday.
In Monday's other matches, hosts New Zealand are to meet Korea and Pakistan faces Spain.
Tournament director Bjorn W Isberg said some matches on Tuesday had also been rescheduled. That day's programme will now feature Spain v Great Britain, Korea v Germany, Australia v Pakistan and Netherlands v New Zealand.
