Meanwhile, Babar registered a comfortable 5-1 win against UAE’s Mohammed Al Joaker and could have ended with a perfect score of 75 in the last frame, but missed by a single point.
Babar won by a scoreline of 45-0(45), 39-09, 37-26, 20-54, 46-04(46) and 74-0(74).
Meanwhile, Bilal also had a relatively untroubled outing as he hardly had to fight in his 5-0 thrashing of Bahrain’s Habib Subah, triumphing 39-01, 31-19, 49-13(45), 39-00 and 58-05 in what was a one-sided affair from start to finish.
