In the ongoing Asian Heyball Championship in Jordan, Pakistan’s Arfan Dad has advanced to the semifinals after defeating two Indian players in a single day.
He beat India’s Shehbaz Adil Khan 7-3 in the pre-quarterfinals and Shivam Arora 7-6 in the quarterfinals. Irfan will now face India’s Sandeep Gulati in the semifinal.
The “Heyball” is the Chinese version of 8-ball pool, differing mainly in table standards. Pakistan had nominated two players for the event — UK-based Arfan Dad and Nadeem Gill, who was eliminated in the Round of 32.
