England's Alison Waters and Adrian Waller are guaranteed at least a silver medal in the squash mixed doubles.
The pair breezed past Australia's 2019 world champions Donna Lobban and Cameron Pilley, winning both games 11-8 to seal a 2-0 victory.
And, after winning world silver in April, they will now be gunning for gold when they face New Zealand's Paul Coll and Joelle King in Sunday's final.
"We back our skills against theirs," said Waller.
"I know they are a strong pairing. They have been together for many years and have been very successful. So we will have a battle on our hands, but we will be fine."
Waller also made it through to the men's doubles semi-finals, partnering Daryl Selby to a 2-1 victory - 10-11 11-5 11-8 - over Canada's Nick Sachvie and David Baillargeon.
The English pair set up a last-four encounter with Scotland's Rory Stewart and Greg Lobban, who beat Australia's Zac Alexander and Ryan Cuskelly 11-2 11-9.
