Ishpreet took time to get off the blocks as Kreishh raced ahead with a break of 24 to enjoy a 25-0 lead. But, the champion cueist Ishpreet bounced back with two equally small efforts to pocket the first frame 77-44.
In the second, Kreishh came roaring back constructing a fine break of 61 and with not much left on the table Ishpreet decided to concede the frame, which his opponent won 65-15. However, Ishpreet stamped his authority in the third and deciding frame with a superb break of 74 to put the issue beyond Krieshh clinching the fame to complete a 77-44, 15-65, and 75-16 win.
