The initial day of competition featured seven distinct runs in the lance category, encompassing two individual runs, two pairs’ runs, and three team runs.
Nasir Abbas of Pakistan showcased exceptional skill throughout the day, earning him the title of the 3rd best player and the bronze medal.

Nasir Abbas achieved a flawless performance, successfully maneuvering through all seven runs without dropping any points. His precision in piercing, picking up, and carrying the peg resulted in a total of 42 points.
While both Saudi Arabian riders also accumulated 42 points, their faster completion times gave them a slight advantage over Abbas in the rankings.

The final day will consist of six runs, encompassing various categories including rings and peg, lemons and peg, and relay.
The team with the highest cumulative points from a total of 20 runs throughout the three-day competition will be crowned the World Champions.
