In the match between Naveen Jangra and A. Parthiban, another ISA coach, the latter's decision to experiment few returns but ending up hitting the bottom of the front wall put paid to his aspirations.

In the fourth game, Parthiban was trailing 3-9 but managed to claim four points in a row but squandered the initiative as Naveen got back his rhythm to return the compliment before winning the game for a 2-1 lead.

Vikas held the upper hand in all the games excepting the second where just one error cost him the game. Roger Ngan (Hong Kong) was down 7-9 but two errors by Vikas helped him level the score. Then on, the rivals earned points one after another and Vikas' failure to convert an easy return proved otherwise with Roger winning the game.

In the third game, Vikas took a massive 10-4 lead before clinching a vital 2-1 lead and then continued to grow in confidence before winning the fourth and the match.
