Jerome Vinith was the star of the show for the Calicut Heroes as the skipper led from the front with 12 points, while Iluoni Ngampourou contributed on both fronts to notch up six points.
Wow! Super Serve from Jerome Vinith! The Heroes's skipper picks up two vital points as his serve lands inches inside the court to bring with it two points. The lead is down to a solitary point.
First team review of the season as Tomislav Coskovic claims that his spike got a touch on Ngampourou before it went out of bounds. Oh, wait! Looks like the touch was on Paul Lotman's wrist as U Mumba get the point.
The Heroes are now only one set away from wrapping the match up with a 15-12, 15-9 advantage and if U Mumba Volley need to get a hold back in this encounter, they will certainly need to conjure up a special algorithm to find their way back.
Can U Mumba strike a comeback or will the Heroes clinch a hat-trick of sets and with that the match?
U Mumba Volley certain looked out of steam in the second set as the Heroes converted the lead into a big win, orchestrated yet again by Jerome Vinith (4 points) and Iluoni Ngampourou (2 points).
