KARACHI: Pakistan’s second-ranked national cueist Babar Masih lost his opening matches at the 2016 Sangsom 6-Red World Championship in Bangkok yesterday.
Masih lost his first group match 5-1 to Thailand’s Ratchapol Pu-Ob-Orm. The 28-year-old player failed to offer much resistance against the former professional snooker player and managed to take only the fourth frame of the match as Orm comfortably sealed the win.
