KARACHI, Nov 26: Pakistan top cueist Khurram Hussain Agha won convincingly 4-0 frames his fourth match against Latvian Artrus Neilands in the 30th edition of World IBSF snooker championship 2004 at Veldhoven, Holland on Thursday.

Khurram had lost only one league match out of five league matches he has played till now. According to the results provided by PBSF on Friday, Khurram who was in top form toppled his rival Artrus in four straight frames with breaks of 64, 55 and 49.

Khurram who had now complete control over the game relaxed a bit. This gave an opportunity to Artrus to come back but he could not match the brilliance of Khurram and lost the third frame 69-39.

After having 3-0 frames lead over his rival, Khurram dictated his own terms. He played accurate shots and clinched the fourth and final frame 102-34. Another cueist from Pakistan Saleh Mohammed is also playing impressively in the event. -PPI
