Pakistan’s Arfan storms into Asian Heyball semifinals after defeating two Indians
KARACHI: Pakistan’s Arfan Dad advanced to the semifinals of the Asian Heyball Championship after a remarkable day in which he defeated two Indian cueists back-to-back.
The UK-based player first overpowered India’s Shahbaaz Adil Khan 7–3 in the Round of 16 before edging out Shivam Arora 7–6 in a tense quarterfinal encounter.
Arfan will now face another Indian player, Sundeep Gulati, in the semifinal clash later today.
Heyball, known as the Chinese version of 8-ball pool, differs mainly in table standards and pocket design.
Pakistan is represented at the championship by two players — Arfan Dad and Nadeem Gull. Gull, however, was eliminated in the Round of 32.
