Pakistan’s Nasir Iqbal and Noor Zaman secured their spot in the final of the 2nd Asian Doubles Squash Championship in Malaysia by defeating the host team.
They beat Malaysia’s Duncan Lee and Syafiq Kamal 2-1 in a hard-fought semifinal match.
Pakistan won the match with a scoreline of 10-11, 11-9, and 11-9. They will now face India in the final today.
Earlier this month, Zaman and Iqbal competed in the 23rd Asian Individual Squash Championships in Malaysia. Iqbal outclassed Lai Cheuk Nam of Hong Kong to advance to the quarter-finals, while Zaman lost a close 3-2 match to Malaysia’s Joachim Chuah in the pre-quarterfinal.
Zaman claimed the men’s title at the U23 World Squash Championships in April by staging a stellar comeback against Egypt’s Karim El Torkey.
