Playing the first singles, he made a gritty 52 before an unlucky red in-off ended the break abruptly against Thor Chuan Leong. Given a lifeline, Thor Chuan, winner of the Asian 6-red title three days ago, fought back in fine style, prevailing 68-58 with a run of 39, to put Malaysia ahead. Advani, who lost a rare frame in the semis against Kwok Wai Fung, brushed aside Lim Kok Leong to make it one-frame apiece. In the doubles, after letting Malaysia take an early 33-1 lead, Damani punished Thor Chuan’s error with a brilliant frame-clinching break of 60 to put India just a win away from the title. Advani then kept the dangerous Thor Chuan on a tight leash with his stunning safety play en route to a decisive victory.
