Tenth seeds Kazakhstan produced another superb performance in the men's team recurve event to set up a final with Italy at the Archery World Cup in Antalya.

A team consisting of Oibek Saidiyev, Danis Gankin and Sultan Duzelbayev produced a succession of strong displays at the Antalya Archery Club Field.

They first beat Taiwan 6-2 before a 5-3 win over second seeds France.

This set up a semi-final with Germany, who were dispatched 5-3.

It continued the superb form they showed in defeating South Korea to win in Shanghai earlier this season.

Top seeds Italy remain the slight favourites, however.
