While Bengaluru players appeared to be reading each other’s minds, the communication between players in Hyderabad left a lot to be desired. Sahil started attacking well as Hyderabad began asking a few questions. But Sethu’s magic was undeniable on the night, as he made another super serve, and Srajan and Mujeeb made useful blocks to help Bengaluru take control.

Prince’s clever blocks showcased the Hawks’ resistance, while a couple of service errors from Bengaluru further helped Hyderabad. But there was no stopping super server Sethu on the night, who kept scoring points for his side. Srajan made useful blocks and Sethu closed the game a powerful spike to help Bengaluru get the win.
