PVL Season 3: Kochi Blue Spikers Beat Hyderabad Black Hawks To Restore Some Pride
Unforced errors hurt the Hawks, and Aman Kumar's aggressive serves gave Kochi an early momentum. Jibin Sebastian, who was later adjudged Player of the Match, and Erin controlled attacks from the lines, while Aman continued to spike from the middle to help Kochi. Ashamat Ullah's play from the service line helped the Hawks storm back, but Athos' blocks contained Hyderabad's attacks and Kochi took an early lead.
Om Vasanth Lad showcased his firing power from the service line as the Blues continued to dominate. Stefan Kovacevic came alive in the second half to provide the Hawks an edge in defence. But Athos led a three-man block that shackled Hyderabad's attacks. Despite Sahil Kumar earning his side a super point, Kochi controlled the play to remain on course to their first win.
