Asjad Iqbal overpowers Mohammad Asif to enter final of 3rd Ranking Snooker event

Sargodha’s Asjad Iqbal has breezed into the final encounter of the Jubilee Insurance Third National Ranking Snooker Championship 2012 at the Karachi Gymkhana Club. He defeated the reigning National Snooker Champion of Pakistan, Mohammad Asif in the semi-final encounter of the event by the score line of 6-4.

The National Champion Asif hit the lead by the score line of 1-3 clinching three consecutive frames. Iqbal took the first frame by 65-18 to put pressure on Asif but he was not successful as Asif replied in a tremendous way hitting three frame wins by the score line of 10-72, 47-85 and 64-70.

Iqbal seemed out of the game at 1-3 down and Asif will not let him lift up in the game. Things got real bad when Asif got another frame win by 57-70 to nudge his opponent 1-4 down.

However, the tables turned after that when the youngster sprang back with a spark in the second session and claimed four five consecutive frame victories by 61-52, 60-58, 94-8, 89-32 and 66-62 to show his true class and win the game by 6-4.
