Shameemudheen continued his form for Calicut, making impressive blocks against Ashwal Rai and attacking from the middle zone. Service pressure from Ashok Bishnoi gave Calicut an early advantage. Kolkata overseas import Matin Takavar put pressure back on Calicut with super spikes, but service errors affected their momentum.
