Brijesh sole bearer India's flag

Brijesh Damani beats Jackson Wong 4-2 to go through to the Last 16 round of the Mike Yow Memorial Cup 2012.

India's Brijesh Damani in action

Part of India's snooker contingent to the Guangzhou Asian Games 2010, Brijesh looked the favourite in his match against Jackson Wong. After leading 1-0, Jackson used his match experience and tight safety play to snatch 2 frames to lead 2-1, which made Brijesh immediately recollect his concentration. He then went on to win the next 3 frames and match 4-2.

Brijesh Damani is India's only sole survivor in the Championship as Shahbaaz Khan lost to Hong Kong's Chan Ka Kin in a final frame decider while Rafath Habib did not qualify to the Knockout Stage.

He plays former national player Ng Ann Seng in his Last 16 match tomorrow.
