The title brought an end to Egypt’s dominance as they had did hat-trick of titles by winning the last three editions.
It was a surprising start for Pakistan when the top-seeds clashed as Israr Ahmad came out on top against Saadeldin Abouaish to win a closely-fought match 3-0 with scores of 11-9, 11-9 and 11-9.
Pakistan win group matches
Israr had lost to Saaadeldin in the semifinal of World Junior Individual Championship few days back.
With the game evenly poised at 1-1, Abbas Shoukat defeated Marwan Tarek 3-1 in the decider to help Pakistan reclaim the crown after 2008.
However, Egypt were able to draw parity with Youssef Ibrahim, piping Ayaz Ahsan 3-1 in a 47-minute battle with overall scores of 13-11, 11-13, 11-5 and 11-6.
