Wohaib Club will take on defending champions Army in the final on Tuesday.
Wohaib Club made dangerous inroads through Usman Malik, Hikmatullah, Mohammad Ramzan and Adeem Shahzad, while Naeem Ullah, Qamar and Shahbaz Akhtar counter-attacked for Navy.
Wohaib Club slotted home the opener in the 36th minute when Usman provided a perfect pass to Ramzan who headed home, giving goalkeeper Syed Sultan no chance.
Two minutes later Wohaib Club made it 2-0 when midfielder Ali Ehsan capitalised on a defensive lapse and slotted home from 35 metres.
