Nasir Iqbal will be up against Farhan Zaman while the Atlas brothers – Aamir and Danish – will lock horns in the other last-four clash.
Nasir was involved in a tough five-setter against Sheikh Saqib which he eventually won with scores of 12-14, 11-4, 11-7, 9-11 and 11-8.
Meanwhile, Zaman won 2-0 as his opponent Farhan Mehboob retired hurt when the game was 11-6 and 12-10.
Danish survived a scare against Mansoor Zaman as he was 2-1 down with the latter cruising to an improbable victory. But the third seed pulled back the match in his favour by thrashing Mansoor in the fourth and fifth games with a scoreline of 13-11, 8-11, 7-11, 11-1 and 12-10 while Aamir defeated Nosherwan Khan 3-1.
