KARACHI: Following an incredible day in which he defeated two Indian cueists in a row, Pakistan’s Arfan Dad advanced to the Asian Heyball Championship semifinals.
The player from the UK defeated Shahbaaz Adil Khan of India 7–3 in the Round of 16 before defeating Shivam Arora 7–6 in a close quarterfinal match.
Later today, Arfan will play Sundeep Gulati, another Indian player, in the semifinals.
The primary differences between 8-ball pool and Heyball, the Chinese variant, are in table standards and pocket design.
