Last edition’s winner Nasir will now face former Pakistan number one Aamir Atlas in the final on Monday in a bid to defend his crown.
Amir, the second seed in the competition, defeated Farhan Mehboob 3-1 in the other semi-final.
Amir took the first game 11-7 but lost focus in the second as Mehboob levelled the match 10-12. However, Amir bounced back to seal the win in the next two games 12-10, 11-9.
According to Pakistan Squash Federation secretary Amir Nawaz, the tournament has provided an opportunity for the players to earn international ranking points, while the prize money of $15,000 is motivating as well.
“It’s been a great tournament as the players are getting more opportunities,” said Nawaz. “So far all the players have performed well, and we are expecting a great show in the final with two of our best players vying for the title.”
