The Indian men maintained their winning spree despite their spearhead Achanta Sharath Kamal losing a tie, while the women suffered their third successive defeat in the World Team Table Tennis Championships in Moscow on Tuesday.

India defeated Argentina 3-1 to register their third win on the trot in the men's section while their women, after losing to Denmark and Malaysia earlier, went down to group leaders Turkey 1-3.

World No 70 Sharath lost 1-3 to Song Liu but soon recaptured form to spank Pablo Tabachnik 3-0 in another the Group H tie.

Former national champion Subhajit Saha got the better of Tabachnik 3-1 and Soumyadeep Roy beat Gaston Alto 3-2 in the other matches.

The Indian men had beaten Bosnia-Herzegovina and Canada in their first two matches.

In the women's section, the only cheer for the Indians was Madhurika Patkar comprehensively beating Fulya Ozler 3-0.

But two former national champions, Kumaresan Shamini and Mouma Das put up disappointing performances. Shamini lost to H Sirin 1-3 and then went down to H Melek 2-3.

Mouma also lost to Melek 3-1 in a Group E tie.
