Egypt won their third consecutive WSF Men’s World Team Championship after a thrilling contest with England in the final.

Going into his match with England’s Marwan ElShorbagy, 22-year-old Mostafa Asal was simply too strong, with inspired pace, power and accuracy seeing the Egyptian clinch a trio of 11-9 wins to take the match 3-0 in 49 minutes.

This left Marwan’s brother, Mohamed, needing a win over old rival and World No.1 Ali Farag to keep England in the tie.

In a pulsating five game battle, which neither man deserved to lose, it was Farag who was able to maintain his concentration, with the 31-year-old controlling the court masterfully as he got his side over the line with an 11-7 win to close out a classic 70-minute encounter.
