KARACHI: Top seed Abdul Sattar and seventh seed Khizar Aziz will contest the final of the Sindh Snooker Cup after navigating a demanding day of action here at the Legend Snooker Club on Thursday.
In the afternoon semifinals, Khizar continued his impressive momentum to defeat Umair Ansari 4-2. In the other last-four clash, Sattar recovered from a slow start to overcome M. Faizan by the same scoreline, keeping his title hopes alive.
Earlier in the day, the quarter-finals produced high drama.
Sattar ended the impressive run of Adil Mehmood with a 4-2 victory, while Mohammad Faizan edged past Umair Khan by the same score.
The biggest upset came when Umair Ansari defeated third seed Zulfiqar Abdul Q adir 4-1.
In the final last-eight clash, Khizar produced a dominant performance to whitewash second seed Ian Mark John 4-0, avenging his earlier pre-quarterfinal scare.
The championship match is scheduled for Friday. Beyond the provincial title, the top eight players will secure qualification for the 51st National Snooker Championship 2027 in Karachi.
Organised by the Sindh Billiards & Snooker Association, the event began with 151 players from across the province.-Sports Reporter
