Wang said her strategy was to play fast and furious in the first game, but slow down the pace in the second, when she knew Zhang would come out firing.
Wang, the Asian Games champion, faces a showdown Sunday with fifth seed Zhu Lin who easily dispensed with teammate Lu Lan 21-10, 21-13.
Zhang, the Olympic champion and a veteran of the Chinese team, joins a string of stars who have fallen in this wildly unpredictable tournament.
Malaysia's chances of winning their first-ever title were snuffed out Saturday when doubles duo Choong Tan Fook and Lee Wan Wah went down fighting against Indonesia's Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan.
The Malaysians, who have watched their more high-profile teammates exit Putra Stadium this week, produced some spectacular badminton but were eventually edged out 22-20, 28-26.
The Indonesian fifth seeds take on South Korea's Jung Jae-Sung and Lee Yong-Dae who downed Japan's national champions Shuichi Sakamoto and Shintaro Ikeda in their semi-final 21-16, 21-12.
"I was really nervous but point by point it got easier against them," Lee said.
China is guaranteed gold in the women's doubles after third seeds Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen upstaged number ones Zhang Yawen and Wei Yili in a three-game thriller 19-21, 21-18, 21-16.
They take on defending champions Gao Ling and Huang Sui who triumphed over Japan's Kumiko Ogura and Reiko Shiota also in three games 21-16, 23-25, 21-16.
