The wins came after they dominated their Indonesian opponents in the quarterfinals—Centeno blanked Angeline Ticoalu, 7-0, and Amit trounced Fathrah Masum, 7-3.
Amit had to rest and adjust after beating Masum.
“Sa totoo lang medyo nakakalito because the break is different,” she explained as both she and Centeno are also competing in the 9-ball singles.
Amit and Centeno will face off at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
