Bengaluru Torpedoes vs Calicut Heroes
Sandoval came to life straightaway, putting pressure on the Torpedoes with his powerful spikes. When Jerome Vinith started sending thunderous serves, Bengaluru buckled. But when Tsvetelin Tsvetanov and Alireza Abalooch came off the bench, the momentum shifted. Unforced errors from the Heroes did not help their cause and Bengaluru took lead.
Ukkrapandian’s pairing with Sandoval and Jerome improved Calicut’s attack. But just when the doors opened for Calicut, Bengaluru skipper Pankaj Sharma struck back with monstrous serves. Ibin kept attacking from zone 4, while libero Midhun helped Bengaluru in tackling Jerome’s hard spikes, further helping the Torpedoes in taking control of the match.
As Calicut tactically upgraded their defence, Pankaj and Ibin switched positions and the Torpedoes skipper sent a tracer bullet on the opposition’s end. But Sandoval came to the party and put on a delicious block on Pankaj to help Calicut find a way back into the contest.
