After a disappointing performance on the first day of play at the 2014 International Billiards & Snooker Federation (IBSF) World Snooker Championships, the reigning United States National Snooker Champion, Ajeya Prabhakar, found some good form for his second group match in the Men's Event as he recorded a convincing victory at the Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bangalore, India.

Prabhakar commented that he was still feeling the jet lag during his first match loss to Rupesh Shah, but he started in magnificent fashion in his next Group J tie against Finland's Jani Kananen.

The Californian hit a break of 62 to win the first frame, and he continued to pocket the balls in frame two of which he sealed with a run of 50.

Prabhakar then proceeded to reel off the following two frames without too much trouble to record an excellent 4-0 win which will make him feel much better, and give him the much needed confidence he requires for his remaining four group matches.

Prabhakar's next Group J match will be at 3pm local time tomorrow against the Japanese player, Keishin Kamihashi.

Prabhakar's playing schedule and results (start times are stated in local time, +13:30hrs PT in the United States):
