But shameem

Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium: Player of the Match Danial Moatazedi did the star turn as Calicut Heroes started the Super 5s stage of the third season Prime Volleyball League with a comeback 13-15, 15-9, 15-7, 15-12 win over Mumbai Meteors at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here on Monday.

Shameem put a block on Perotto, but could not counter Jerome's fiery spike. Calicut's defence was on the spot with Danial Moatazedi reading Amit Gulia well. But Shameem, too, was in superb form on the night, shackling Chirag Yadav, and the game hung in balance. Saurabh Maan added more tenacity to Mumbai's defence, as the Meteors contained Jerome's threat, and took an early lead.

Danial rejuvenated Calicut's attacks with fiery showing, and soon Calicut had the momentum going their way. Perotto's thunderous serve rocked Mumbai's defence. Amit's spike helped the Meteors to a super point, but unforced errors did not help their side. Perotto kept Calicut on track for a comeback with an attacking display and Calicut began running away with the game.
