Dunstone, along with teammates Colton Lott, Mark Nichols, and Ryan Harnden, led by a score of 3-2 after six ends before taking the lead in the seventh end, securing their place in the final.\n\nTheir triumph was not without a fight. Dunstone trailed 2-1 after the fourth end and 3-2 after the sixth, but managed to stage a comeback in the seventh end with two goals, cementing their position in the championship. This victory sets them up to face Bruce Mouat's Scotland crew in Sunday's men's final.\n\nMeanwhile, Bruce Mouat also claimed a spot in Sunday's final after defeating Philipp Hoesli of Switzerland 7-3 in Saturday's other semifinal. Mouat had taken an early lead with two goals in the first end, managed to hold onto his advantage despite conceding singles in the subsequent ends, and further extended his lead with three goals in the fourth end.\n\nElsewhere, in the women's category, Miku Nihira of Sapporo, Japan, has clinched her spot in the women's final with a 6-4 win over Selena Sturmay of Edmonton.
