5410e16f043f6KARACHI: Pakistan-2 team made history at the fourth Commonwealth Nations Bridge Championship being staged in Glasgow by winning all their six matches in a row, according to the information received by the Pakistan Bridge Federation (PBF) here on Wednesday.

Led by Ahsan Zahir Rizvi, Pakistan-2 excelled and dominated with superb tactical and smart play.

After beating Guernsey 12.71 and Kenya 16.03 on the openingday, Pakistan-2 maintained their sequence by thrashing Northern Ireland 10.56, Jersey 20.00, Black Swan 17.63 and England-2 15.26.

At the close of the sixth round, Pakistan-2 were leading the bunch of 14 competitors, followed by India and Australia. India were leading this group until the fifth round.

As per PBF record, it would be for the first time in the history of Pakistan bridge that national team won six straight matches at any international event.

With six wins Pakistan-2 have brightened their chances to qualify for the knockout stage.

Ahsan Rizvi and his bunch of players including Anwar Kizil­bash, Abdul Muqeet and Ziaullah Baig have performed fantastically.

Two members of the team could not go to Glasgow since they could not get visa from the UK so only four players are playing continuously.

However, the position is not so pleasing in group ‘A’, where Pakistan-1 have won only two out of their six matches.

Their results were Pakistan-1 vs Canada 00.00, Scotland 7.56, Australian women 13.48, Mala­ysia 3.97, Barbados 12.44 and England 1.96.

At the close of the sixth round Pakistan-1 were placed at the 11th position among 14 competitors.
