With the threat of Jerome Vinith and Jose Antonio Sandoval looming, Hyderabad began cautiously, focusing on avoiding block errors. Setter Lal Sujan kept providing the ball to skipper Guru Prashanth as Hyderabad built pressure on Calicut’s blockers.
The more Hyderabad attacked the middle, the more Calicut skipper Matt Hilling faltered with serve reception. But the tide shifted when Calicut switched the game towards the sidelines, and suddenly the Hawks had no answers to Hilling’s blocks and Vinith spikes.

Hyderabad’s struggles with blocks continued on the night. To make matters worse, spike errors from Hemanth and John further proved costly for Hyderabad.
Sandoval became more dominant in the middle, as he not only started scoring block points but also started setting up Vinith and Ashwin for spikes. With accurate counter-attacking shots, Ashwin kept up the pressure on the Black Hawks. Hilling strategized well to keep Lal Sujan away from the ball, so he could not provide for Guru.
