A World Cup appearance continues to elude the Malaysian pair of Iain Steel and Danny Chia as they ended fourth.

'Pakistan have played in the cricket World Cup, hockey World Cup and squash World Cup but never before in our history we've been in golf's World Cup. We showed that we are in there for the first time and hopefully we will be able to perform well in China,' said a delighted Munir, who plays on the Asian Tour.

Pakistan mixed their scorecard with four birdies against two bogeys before nailing a crucial final birdie on the 18th hole to seal a historic debut against the world's best in China later in November.

Shabbir, who recently recovered from a long-term back injury, relied on Munir's experience and said his partner steered them to third place. 'I couldn't read the greens this week and I told Munir that I was out of form. But he told me that he had confidence in me and he guided me along. That's why we made the cut.'

Lam and Mardan last qualified for the World Cup in 2006 at Seri Selangor and they were delighted to win again at the par-71 course.

Pucay and Que also qualified for their second straight World Cup appearance after a solid week. They recovered from an early bogey with an eagle on the sixth hole before dropping shots again with double bogeys on the 10th and 18th holes to finish with a four-day total of 270. Que was pleased they achieved their goal.
