After beating Botswana 17-5 15-5, they followed up by downing South Africa 12-7 11-4 in section play at the Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Complex.
Skip Khan was pleased she and Timoti were able to put into practice the game plan they had gone through the night before.
"It panned out basically to be the same as we've been working on -- increasing the aggressiveness," the Cantabrian said.
"We were going to be positive with our shots and no pussy foot around, and it grew from there."
Khan and sister Marina won New Zealand's only bowls medal, a bronze, as a pair at the last Commonwealth Games.
She and Northlander Timoti are a new partnership and they were not getting carried away with their solid start.
"Bowls is a great leveller," Khan said.
"It's up for grabs. So long as we can keep ourselves focused and our rhythm going, I'm sure we'll be a hard opponent to beat."
Timoti said it was a pleasant surprise to find that the synthetic greens were not as slow as they were during a test event in April.
She said they were running at about a second or more faster and had a nice consistent draw to them.
"We practised on croquet lawns at home to get used to slower conditions," she said.
"We got here a week ago and all our bowls were flying into the ditch."
The men's triple of Andrew Todd, Shannon McIlroy and skip Richard Girvan were the only other New Zealand combination to have two matches today and they had wildly fluctuating fortunes.
They were imperious in beating Wales, taking every one of the 18 ends for a 13-0 16-0 whitewash.
However, they lost their clash with Namibia in a cliffhanger 4-8 14-7 4-2.
The Namibians came from behind in the second set to send the contest into a three-end tiebreak, which failed to separate the sides.
In a final sudden-death end, New Zealand were sitting pretty when McIlroy drew a toucher that stayed on the jack.
However, opposition skip Graham Snyman, with his final bowl, played a superb shot of precise weight to spring the jack and snatch a dramatic victory.
In evening action, the women's triple of Genevieve Baildon, Dale Lang and Karen Coombe beat Botswana 13-4 9-4, but the men's pair of Richard Collett and Danny Delany fell to Wales 9-6 7-5.
