Kochi Blue Spikers: Kochi Blue Spikers bowed out of the tournament with a solid win in the Prime Volleyball League (PVL) at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, on Tuesday, defeating Ahmedabad Defenders 15-13, 14-16, 17-15, 15-9. Erin Varghese was named the Player of the Match. The result did not affect Ahmedabad's position in the table, as they are already through to the semi-finals.

Ahmedabad started strongly with Battur Batsuuri's missile attacks. A super serve from Kochi's Jasjodh Singh bridged the gap between the two teams. Jasjodh motivated the Spikers with a super block on Shon T. John. Tremendous defending from Amrinderpal Singh helped them take the first set.

Erin's ferocious serves caught Ahmedabad off-guard in the second set, and the Spikers continued their momentum. Ahmedabad brought Nandhagopal and Akhin on the court, and the new formation reaped rewards. Akhin blocked Kochi's relentless attack from the middle zone, and the Defenders levelled the score.
