The opening match set the tone for the day. England’s Dylan Roberts displayed complete control as he dispatched Anas Ali Shah in straight games, finishing 11–7, 11–6, 11–5.

Following that, it was Alexander Broadbridge who cemented England’s victory. He overcame Abdullah Nawaz in a tightly contested second match. While Nawaz fought back with brief moments of brilliance, Broadbridge closed the contest 14–12, 11–2, 11–9.

The defeat knocked Pakistan out of contention for the championship title. However, the national side will continue in the classification play-offs, now targeting a fifth-place finish. They are set to face the Czech Republic in the next round.
