Lucky escape for Bilal

Muhammad Bilal of Pakistan Muhammad Bilal of Pakistan IBSF Media
Muhammad Bilal of Pakistan stayed lucky to save his Last-48 knockout match where at one stage he was leading 3-1 but fell into the decider. Lastly he won 4-3 against Hong Kong player Fung Kwok Wai.

All damage caused to Bilal because of his over excitement and selection of shots. He made few silly mistakes after taking 3-1 lead. On the other side, Fung Kwok clinched next two frame to bring the match at level once again.

In such a do-or-die situation Bilal addressed with more stability and started with break of 40 points. In next visit he extended that lead to 60 points but again his shot selection was wrong that could’ve been worst for him. However, Fung Kwok failed to use that chance and in next visit Bilal potted straight red and then blue to be back into perfect position. The score was 72-16 with three reds on table when Fung Kwok shook hands.
