Living up to expectations, Mahoor Shahzad won the women singles title of the national badminton championship making short work of Ghazala Siddique 21-5, 21-8 in the final here on Thursday at Nishtar Park sports complex hall. Wapda's Mahoor put up dazzling performance with all round show showing vast stamina and most importantly undying spirit to outstroke SNGPL's Ghazala.

"I maintained a fast pace in the match with attacking game which kept Ghazala under pressure", he told APP in her post match comments. "I am delighted to win the title and I will further concentrate to lift the level of my game to show consistency in coming national events".

Attique Ch. (Wapda) & Raja Hasnain (NBP) beat Awais Zahid (Wapda) & Raja Zulqarnain (NBP) by 14-21, 21-16, 21-7 to win men's double title. Attique and Hasnain made a grand come back after losing the first set of the game. The loss served a big lesson for them and infused a greater amount of confidence in them which mainly helped them to exhibit flawless game in the following parts of the match to outsmart their opponents.

Awais and Zulqarnain who put thrill in the match by winning the opener of the match, failed to maintain their high level of game and seemed under pressure when it mattered to match the speed and technique of their opponents. Saima Waqas (Wapda) & Ghazala Siddique (SNGPL) beat Sehra Akram & Huma Javed (Wapda) by 21-17, 21-15 to claim the women doubles title.
