Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium: Bengaluru Torpedoes ended the Ahmedabad Defenders' winning streak on Monday, beating the defending Champions 17-15, 15-13, 15-13 in the third season of the Prime Volleyball League (PVL) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, here on Monday.

Bengaluru outmanoeuvred Muthusamy's strategy, and as the middle blocker, Mujeeb blocked Nandha's pipe attack. Sethu's aggressive serves tested the Defenders, but Max Senica's spikes kept the defending Champions in play. Srajan Shetty and Paulo Lamounier became involved in torpedoe attacks, while Ahmedabad made a couple of unforced errors to lose their first set of the season so far.

Ahmedabad felt the pressure with Bengaluru's relentless attacks. Player of the Match Thomas Heptinstall and Pankaj Sharma's play from the outside lines disarmed Bengaluru and kept Nandha relatively quieter.
