RAWALPINDI, May 21: Hasnain Asghar Ali checked into the semifinals of the Dawoodi Bhora table tennis tournament on Friday evening. Having dropped only one game to Rizwan Ehsan Ali, Hasnain recorded his fourth successive victory against Abbas Noorani as he stretched his points tally to 10 from six matches.
Rizwan is so far unbeaten in Pool B after playing six matches and is likely to meet defending champion Murtaza Adam Ali in the semifinals.
