Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik turned on the style to outclass Indian pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty 21-13, 21-17 to reach the China Open men's doubles final on Saturday.
The world number two pair were in a class of their own to comfortably dispatch India's top pair in a 42-minute contest.
Chia-Soh are now within sight of a fourth title of the year, having already clinched the Badminton Asia Championships, the Thailand and Singapore Open silverware.
Standing in their way of this Super 1000 final are Indonesian pair Fajar Alfian-Shohibul Fikri, who stunned home favourites Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang in straight games.
Chia-Soh played a flat game and did not allow Rankireddy-Shetty to play their usual attacking style, and the Malaysians will look to deploy a similar approach against the Indonesians on Sunday.
Chia-Soh will be the sole Malaysian representatives in the final after national women's pair Pearly Tan-M.Thinaah lost their match earlier in the session.
