Ahmedabad Defenders will square off against the Chennai Blitz in the inaugural match of the Prime Volleyball League 2024 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai on Thursday, February 15.
Ahmedabad Defenders won the tournament last year, beating the Bengaluru Torpedoes 3-2 in a nail-biting final.
Chennai Blitz, on the other hand, will be hoping for a fresh start after a disappointing last season, where they finished at the bottom of the points table, winning just one of their seven games.
Both teams have announced balanced squads for the tournament and will be eager to start their campaign with a win.
