Ahmed Saif and Mohsen Bukshaisha of Qatar put up an impressive display in the individual event of the ACBS 6 Reds Snooker Championship and qualified for the knockout stage with unbeaten record here on Sunday.
Saif, who topped Group H, outclassed Sri Lankan Mohomed Rikaz 5-0 in the morning. He returned to the table in the evening and posted a facile 5-1 victory against Ali Hussein of Iraq.
Bukshaisha had some tough moments against Vietnam's Nguyen Pham Hoai but he managed to come through with a 5-3 victory in the morning. His evening match against Hong Kong's Chau Hon Man even tested him even more. However, the Qatari cueist did not lose his focus and touch, putting it across the rival in the ninth and final frame.
Saif will next take on the winner between Thai Passakorn Suwannawat and Hong Kong's Fung Kowk Wai for a spot in the quarter-final.
Bukshaisha's next opponent is Iraqi Omar Ali who was second in Group L behind Chinese Yang Jiaxin.
Qatar's other players Khamis al Obaidli, Mhanaa al Obaidli, Abdul Mohsen, Ali Obaidli could not get past the group stage despite their best efforts.
