The Silver Ferns have advanced to their first Commonwealth Games gold medal match since 2014 after defeating England 61-54 in Glasgow.
New Zealand will face Jamaica in the final after the Jamaicans edged defending Commonwealth Games champions Australia 46-45 in the second semi-final.
The Silver Ferns have not won Commonwealth Games gold since their dramatic double extra-time victory over Australia at the 2010 Delhi Games.
Earlier yesterday, the Silver Ferns confirmed the news many fans had feared, with defender Catherine Hall ruled out of the Games after rupturing her ACL during Thursday's match against Wales.
The Silver Ferns are now down to 11 players, with Kelly Jackson, Karin Burger, and Carys Stythe expected to shoulder the workload in defence.
The gold medal match will be played at 12am tomorrow, while Australia will take on England in the bronze medal playoff at 8 tonight.
Meanwhile, Australia continues to dominate the medal tally with 65 gold, 41 silver and 52 bronze medals. England is second with 26 gold, 41 silver and 35 bronze medals, while Canada is third with 18 gold, 20 silver and 21 bronze medals.
