Santhosh's super serve gave Calicut a glimmer of hope with a power-packed. Shameem made a couple of solid blocks to put pressure on Delhi's attacks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In reply, Delhi captain Saqlain started moving away from the middle, finding Carlos Berrios in Zone 2 to make Delhi's attacks. Ayush made a tremendous block on Raheem's attempt and earned Delhi Toofans a super point to win the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
