Yangshipin and Huya platforms are providing free live coverage of the Snooker National Championship match between Zhao Xintong and Lei Peifan.

This match is part of the 1/16 finals, following a best-of-11 frames format. The players are currently competing in the first frame, with the score standing at Zhao Xintong 6 - 5 Lei Peifan.

Today features three intra-team derby matches, which guarantees that three national players will make it to the top 16, but also means three must be knocked out. I like both Zhao Xintong and Lei Peifan and really hope neither gets eliminated. Based on their performances in earlier rounds, I estimate Zhao Xintong has a 60% chance of winning, while Lei Peifan has about 40%. Looking forward to an intense match showcasing the talent of our national players!
