Pawar, ranked number four in the tournament, beat Zilberman 18-21, 21-14, 21-12 in 69 minutes to progress to the final tomorrow. 

The 30-year-old Pawar, who had not dropped a game in the tournament before today, last made the finals of a tournament at the Sri Lanka Open in 2014.

Pawar will now face Malaysia's Zulfadli Zulkiffli, the tournament's number one seed, in the final after he comfortably progressed with a straight sets win over Brazilian Ygor Coelh Oliveira 21-18, 24-22. 

In the women's competition both of the top seeds needed three games to see of their respective opponents in their semi-finals.

Spain's Beatriz Corrales, the number one seed, beat unseeded Rachel Honderich of Canada 21-19, 12-21, 21-12 and Finland's Airi Mikkela saw off Brazilian Fabiana Silva 21-14, 19-21, 21-7. 

To compound Silva's misery she also lost in the semi-finals of the women's doubles as her and compatriot Paula B Pereira were beaten by German duo Barbara Bellenberg and Eva Janssens 25-23, 21-11.

Facing the number one seeded Germans in the final will be Bianca De Oliveir and Naira Beat Vier who beat Manoela Koepsel and Thayse Cruz 22-20, 21-11 in an all Brazilian semi-final.

The second seeds, Belgium's Matijs Dierickx and Freek Golinski, were eliminated in the last four of the men's doubles competition.

They were beaten by number three seeds Jones Ralf Jansen and Josche Zurwonne of Germany 14-21, 21-13, 21-11. 

In the other final semi-final between two unseeded pairings, Canadian pair Toby Ng and B.R. Sankeerth were beaten 21-9, 21-13 by German's Michael Fuchs and Fabian Holzer to set up an all German final.

In the mixed doubles event, Indian duo Pranaav Je Chopra and Sikki Reddy beat Holzer and Bellenberg 21-18, 21-15.

The number one seeds will now play Toby Ng and Rachel Honderich of Canada in the final after they came through a difficult, three game match against Michael Fuchs and Eva Janssens of Germany 16-21, 21-19, 21-17.
