During Monday’s IBSF World 6-Red Snooker Championship in Doha, Pakistani cueists Ahsan Ramzan and Mohammad Naseem Akhtar secured their places in the last-28.
Ahsan clinched victory against Susantha Boteju of Sri Lanka with a scoreline of 4-2 (29-36, 48-09, 50-16, 65-06, 02-47, 48-06), confirming his qualification. However, he couldn’t maintain his unbeaten streak, losing to Latvia’s Rodion Judin by the same margin (50-15, 75-0, 13-51, 45-0, 0-48, 71-0) in a dead rubber match.
Meanwhile, Naseem continued his impressive run, winning both of his Monday matches. The 22-year-old first triumphed over Nepal’s Santosh Putuwar with a score of 4-1 (39-29, 0-42, 45-07, 46-05, 38-36) and then secured another victory against Cheung Ka Wai of Hong Kong with an identical score (38-31, 76-24, 59-06, 29-38, 44-04). These victories underline the skill and determination of the Pakistani players on the international snooker stage.
