Wales face an early start on Tuesday morning when they play the bronze medal match against New Zealand at 08:30 BST.
The Wales women's pair of Amy Williams and Lauren Gowen also lost to England in the semi-finals on Monday night, when they were dramatically beaten on a tie-break by Amy Pharoah and Sian Honnor in a contest that went down to the final bowl.
Williams and Gowen will play Northern Ireland at 10:10 BST.
Wales will have a clean sweep of seven boxers in the Commonwealth Games quarter-finals after light-heavyweight Daniel Pitt defeated Papua New Guinea's Kua Gunua Mua.

The 27-year-old from Bangor was competing in her third Games and lifted a snatch of 82kg which placed her sixth at the halfway stage.
Jones lifted 106kg in her clean and jerk to complete a total of 188kg.
"It was a bit of a whirlwind," said Jones.
"I am proud of my performance today, especially after Birmingham in 2022 did not go to plan where I did not put a score on the board."
Nigerian Rafiatu Folashade Lawal won the gold medal.
Gymnast Abigail Roper claimed Commonwealth Games bronze in the women's vault in Glasgow.
It was Wales' first women's vault medal since Sonia Lawrence in 1994, while Roper's identical twin sister Emily finished fourth.
Canada's Lia-Monica Fontaine claimed gold, with England's Abigail Martin finishing second.
It was Wales' fifth Commonwealth Games medal in Glasgow after four podium finishes of one silver and three bronze in the pool, with the wait for gold continuing.
"I can't even put into words how crazy it is," said Abigail.
"I went into this final with no expectations, it was my first final at a major tournament and I was just happy to make it.
"To come away with a bronze medal is just insane."
Abigail admitted she felt for her sister, who had a further chance to win a medal in the uneven bars later on Monday.
"I want to be happy for myself but then at the same time like I feel bad for her," Abigail said.
"Fourth is not the best after coming fourth in the team final, we found that hard.
"She's got the bars final now, so she just needs to keep her head focused and hopefully she'll do a really good job."
Olivia Breen is through to Monday night's T37/38 100m finals after finishing second in her heat.
The double Commonwealth gold medal winner finished in 13:05, the third fastest time.
"I'm happy, I'm content," she said.
"I didn't want to go all out for the heat, I'm saving myself for the final and I'm excited for later.
The Team Wales captain celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday.
"I went to The Ivy with my parents, had a good old Shepherds pie," said Breen.
Meanwhile, there was disappointment for Welsh hammer thrower Amber Simpson who failed to qualify for the final.
After two failures, she threw 59.14 on her final attempt which left her 13th in the standings, one shy of a place in tomorrow's medal event.
