Pakistan's Noor Zaman stormed into the final of the inaugural WSF World U-23 Squash Championships with a fabulous, hard fought 11-6, 11-2, 11-4 victory against Malaysia's Ameeshenraj Chandaran on Wednesday at Karachi's DHA Creek Club.
The second-seeded Zaman will now face Egypt's Kareem El Torkey in Thursday's final after the Torkey seed stunned top-seeded compatriot Ibrahim Elkabbani 7-11, 11-2, 11-8, 11-5 in the other semi-final.
Zaman was already two games up when his opponent retired from the game.
"The crowd support has been incredible and I'll give everything to win this title for Pakistan," said Noor Zaman after the final.
In the women's event, top seed Fayrouz Abouelkheir of Egypt defeated Malaysia's Aira Azman 11-8, 11-7, 7-11, 11-4 to set up a final against Hong Kong's Chan Sin Yuk, who overcame Malaysia's Xin Ying Yee 11-7, 11-6, 4-11, 7-11, 11-3.
