Chennai Blitz Clinches Victory Over Hyderabad Black Hawks in Prime Volleyball League
Chennai Blitz secured a decisive victory over the Hyderabad Black Hawks in the third season of the Prime Volleyball League at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium on Saturday. The home team dominated the match with a score of 16-14, 15-11, 15-7, marking their first win of the season.
After suffering a defeat in their previous match, Chennai Blitz made strategic changes in their tactics, focusing on involving their middle blockers more in the game. This adjustment paid off as the pair of Akhin G.S. and Leandro Jose posed a formidable challenge to the Hyderabad Black Hawks. On the other hand, Hyderabad struggled with early nerves and made unforced errors, impacting their performance.
Despite efforts from Hyderabad’s skipper Ranjit Singh to rally his team, Chennai Blitz’s new signing, Sameer, emerged as the Player of the Match for his impressive display of powerful smashes and control over the game. With Akhin’s dominant play and aggressive serving from Douglas Bueno, the Hawks found themselves struggling to keep up with Chennai’s relentless performance.
In a last-ditch effort to turn the tide, the Hawks called for a Super Point, but an overhit spike cost them the opportunity, ultimately leading to Chennai Blitz securing a straight-set victory.
The win marks a significant turning point for Chennai Blitz in the Prime Volleyball League, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
