Pakistan won bronze in the snooker team event  after being trashed 3-0 by arch-rivals India in the semi-finals.

Sneh Aditya gave India a solid start, outclassing Pakistan’s Sohail Shehzad 84-8 before Yasin Merchant made it 2-0 defeating Imran Shehzad 75-45 in the second frame.

Yasin then combined with Brijesh Damani to seal the tie in favour of the Indians with a 91-61 victory over Imran Shehzad and Shahram Changezi in the third of the best-of-five frame contest.  A much better showing was expected of the Pakistani trio which has excelled recently at home.

India had to contend with a silver after being beaten 3-1 in the final by China.
