Rio Olympics bronze medallist Sakshi, who returned empty-handed from the Jakarta Asian Games, defeated Elmira Gambarova of Azerbaijan 6-2 in the semi-final to set up a title clash against Marianna Sastin of Hungary on Sunday.
Sakshi had earlier defeated Lais Nunes de Oliveira of Brazil 7 - 2 in the quarterfinals.
The other Indian in the fray, Pooja Dhanda, however, was ousted in the quarterfinals after losing 0-10 against Battsetseg Altantsetseg of Mongolia in the 57kg category.
She had earlier defeated Giullia Oliveira of Brazil 11-4 in the qualification round.
Pooja, however, will have a chance to at least claim a bronze as she takes on Becka Leathers of USA in the repechage round Sunday
