Pakistan’s Muhammad Faheem won back-to-back matches in the ongoing Asian U21 Snooker Championship in China to increase his chances of making it to the knockout rounds.
Faheem beat Hong Kong’s Man Hoi Leong 4-3 in his first match of the competition despite trailing twice in the initial stages of the match.
