The match began with Arbaz making a lead in the game by winning the first frame 66-19. Ayush made a good comeback in the second frame. He made the correct shot selection and potted the balls with great precision. He kept away Arbaz from the table for most of the time and slowly built his score to 83, where Arbaz could make a mere six. In the third frame again Ayush maintained his dominance and potted a couple of reds with black, then a red with blue and made a significant lead in the frame. Arbaz tried to counter the moves of his opponent but missed the brown and gave away the frame to Ayush 81- 39. The fourth frame started with Arbaz playing some beautiful shots and initially making a lead in the frame but soon missed the blue.
