MANAMA – Pakistan’s teenage snooker prodigy Hasnain Akhtar stormed into the final of the IBSF World Under-17 Snooker Championship, in perfect display of talent, nerves, and sheer dominance.
The young cueist delivered snooker masterclass that left his opponents and spectators stunned. After dispatching Poland’s Krzysztof Czapnik 3-1 in the quarterfinals earlier in the day, Hasnain took things up several notches in the semifinal.
Facing another Polish opponent, Oliwier Niesłowik, Hasnain delivered an utter demolition, winning 4-0 in the best-of-seven clash without letting a single frame slip away.
Frame Scores: 76-1, 69-8, 88-0, 62-37
With this stunning win, Hasnain has etched his name into the history books and will now face Wales’ Riley Powell in a high-stakes final tomorrow — a match that could bring global snooker glory back to Pakistan.
Hasnain is not just any player — he’s already the reigning Asian Under-21 Champion, and now, he’s knocking on the door of world domination at just 17!
This achievement brings back memories of Naseem Akhtar’s 2017 World Under-18 title, but now a new chapter is being written in Pakistan’s snooker legacy. Pakistanis now looking at Hasnain to bring title home.
