World number three Price reached the showpiece match for the first time after defeating England's Stephen Bunting 6-4, while Scotland's Gary Anderson reached his fifth final by defeating England's Dave Chisnall 6-3.

The last-four matches, played behind closed doors in London, were contested over the best of 11 sets.

The first match of the night was a high-quality affair as between them Price and Bunting recorded 13 100-plus finishes.

The opening two sets were shared after both went to deciding legs.

Bunting then opened up a two-set advantage at 3-1, before Price pulled him back, taking set six with a 100-point finish to level the score at 3-3.

Bunting retook the lead after winning set seven in a deciding leg with a 118-point finish to go 4-3 up.

Price levelled before pushing on in set nine, which he won in three legs, to go 5-4 ahead.

He required four legs to claim the set he needed, taking out 40 to seal a 6-4 win and a first appearance in the PDC World Championship final.

The second match of the night saw Anderson average 100 as the 2015 and 2016 champion took on Chisnall, who had caused the shock of the tournament the previous night when he thumped world number one Michael Van Gerwen 5-0.

The first two sets were shared, both going to the maximum of five legs.

Anderson claimed the next two sets to go 3-1 up before Chisnall pulled one back to halve the deficit.

A crucial moment came in set six when, in a deciding leg, Chisnall went bust, allowing Anderson to score the 11 points required to win the set and take a 4-2 advantage.

Chisnall stayed in touch as he narrowed the gap to one set before Anderson went up a gear and claimed six straight legs to triumph 6-4.

Price and Anderson will go head-to-head tomorrow night in a best-of-13-sets affair for the Sid Waddell Trophy and a £500,000 ($683,000/€561,000) prize.
