Hyderabad, November 16: Veteran cueist Geet Sethi survived a scare against Malta’s Simon Zammit, while Pankaj Advani had a field day against Moosa Saleem of Mauritius on the second day of the ONGC-World Snooker Championship here today.
Sethi, who committed number of unforced errors during the game, brought in all his experience on the table to edge past Zammit 3-2 in the decider.
Sethi started the match nervously and lost first frame to Zammit in no big time. He regained his confidence in the second and struck the balls with sheer excellence to compile a nice break of 69 to level the proceeding.
The third frame was quite scrappy as both the players kept on committing unforced errors. However, at the end Sethi held on to his nerves to surge ahead by 2-1.
