On Monday, Lina Lei and Qian Yang won Australia's first gold in 37 years when they took out their singles titles.
Now the men's 9-10 team of Ma Lin, Joel Coughlan and Nathan Pellissier are on target to join them.
Ma and Coughlan beat France 2-0 in Tuesday night's quarter-final and the Australians will now play Nigeria on Wednesday in the semis.
They beat Mateo Boheas and Gilles de la Bourdonnaye 11-9 11-5 and 11-8 in their doubles clash.
Ma also downed Boheas 9-11 14-12 11-3 11-8.
Earlier on Tuesday, Ma and Couglan also combined to beat Brazil 2-0 in the knockout round.
But Trevor Hirth and Jake Ballestrino lost their Class 6-7 quarter-final against Great Britain 2-0.
Apart from the two women's singles gold medals, Ma and Sam Von Einem also have singles silvers.
