KARACHI, April 30: Pakistani women put up yet another good show when they humbled New Caledonia 3-1 in the World Team table tennis championship in Bremen, Germany, the other day. This was their fourth win in the eight-team division 4 group M. They were home against Azerbaijan, Isle of Men, and Maldives in the earlier encounters.

So far, they had lost only one match against Iran besides conceding the match to Togo by awarding them walk over due to late arrival in Bremen.

They were to play against South Africa late Sunday.
