PVL Season 3: Chennai Blitz Overcome Hyderabad Black Hawks For Season's First Win
Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium: Chennai Blitz picked up a dominant 16-14, 15-11, 15-7, win over the Hyderabad Black Hawks to get off the mark in the third season of the Prime Volleyball League at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here on Saturday.
Coming into the game after a big loss in their first match, there was a change in Chennai Blitz's tactics, as the home side started involving their middle blockers more in the play. The pair of Akhin G.S. and Leandro Jose started posing a threat to the Hyderabad Black Hawks. Playing their first game of the season, Hyderabad showcased early nerves, and made unforced errors, hurting their cause.
With skipper Ranjit Singh spreading his passing, Hyderabad found an opening. But Blitz's new signing Sameer, who was named the Player of the Match, proved his mettle and helped his side take control once again with powerful smashes.
