In a fitting end to the 2010 Men's World Junior Team Squash Championship in the Quito, Ecuador, top seeds Egypt beat title-holders Pakistan 2/1 to win the World Squash Federation crown for the third time since 1994.
New world individual champion Amr Khaled Khalifa put the favourites into a commanding position in the tie after beating Pakistan number one Danish Atlas Khan 11-3, 11-9, 11-3 in a victory which marked his tenth successive win in the two-week-long championships.
But second seeds Pakistan charged back into contention when Nasir Iqbal ended Ali Farag's unbeaten run in the team event by overcoming the individual championship runner-up 11-8, 6-11, 11-7, 2-11, 11-8 in a 65-minute encounter to level the tie.
But it a tense hour before the eventual winners were decided - when 17-year-old Marwan El Shorbagy repeated his individual championship bronze medal win over Farhan Zaman to beat the 18-year-old Pakistani 11-5, 4-11, 11-9, 11-9.
It was a great conclusion to the championships for Egypt - who not only claimed all the medals in the individual championship, but now hold all four main world team titles, the men's and women's senior and junior crowns. -Agencies
