The world champions had earlier suffered a shocking 7-2 loss to China on Wednesday, and were looking to rebound this time, as they went 3-2 ahead after the first five ends.

The Chinese team was able to regain the lead 4-3 in the seventh, but missed the chance in the next and went on to lose 6-4. China failed to reach the final with two wins and four losses, and the winner will be decided between Norway and Canada on Sunday. 

In mixed doubles, South Korea registered a convincing win against China, comprising of the pair Yu Jiaxin and Wang Xiangkun, who only scripted one win so far when they beat the South Korean duo on Thursday.

China set up an early 2-0 lead, but the Koreans tied it up in the following two ends.

Trailing 6-3, Yu Jiaxin had the hammer in the eighth, but couldn't do much to help, as South Korea finally won 7-3. The Chinese pair ended their journey with one win and five losses.

The final will take place between the US and Canada.
