Kochi Blue Spikers will be up against Ahmedabad Defenders in the 23rd match of the Prime Volleyball League 2023. The match will take place at the Regional Sports Centre in Kochi on Monday (February 26).
Kochi Blue Spikers have very little hope of making it to the next round of the tournament, as they currently stand seventh in the points table with two points and a point ratio of 0.960.
Meanwhile, the Ahmedabad Defenders are almost through to the knockout rounds, as they currently sit comfortably on top of the points table with nine points and a point ratio of 1.122.
The Kochi Blue Spikers ended their four-game unbeaten streak as they beat one of the strongest teams in the competition to register their first win of the tournament. They started slowly in the game, as they were behind by 2-1 after three sets, but made a stunning comeback and won back-to-back sets to eventually win the game 3-2.
The Ahmedabad Defenders, on the other hand, registered a hard-fought 3-2 victory against the Calicut Heroes in the previous game. Both teams gave their all, as the game was evenly placed at 2-2 after four sets. However, the Defenders held their nerve in the final set to win their fourth consecutive win of the tournament.
