Calicut Heroes will lock horns against Hyderabad Blacks Hawks in the 19th match of the ongoing Prime Volleyball League at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad on Monday.
Calicut Heroes have won two out of their five matches and they are currently in the fifth position in the points table with four points.
Thus, it is almost a do-or-die match for them. On the other hand, Hyderabad Black Hawks are in the second position in the standings with three wins from five matches and they have six points under their bag. Ergo, they look all set to qualify the semifinal stages.
However, Hyderabad has been missing the services of their attacker, Rohit Kumar.
Meanwhile, Calicut Heroes had won their previous match against Kochi Blue Spikers by 3-2. On the other hand, Hyderabad Black Hawks had also won their last match against Kolkata Thunderbolts by 3-2.
Hyderabad Black Hawks captain Vipul Kumar said that their focus is on the next match and they are not thinking too much about the semifinal spot.
He said, “We are not thinking about the Semi-Finals. We are only focussing on our next match against Calicut Heroes at the moment. We need to keep our confidence high and we want to go into the Semi-Final on the back of a victory.”
The Skipper added, “We’ve had a long break since our last match against Kolkata Thunderbolts on 15 February. We will ensure that we don’t lose our rhythm when we play our next game. We’ve been setting up strategies for our match against Calicut.
We’ve watched their matches in the last two days and have been devising our plans.”
Prediction: Hyderabad Black Hawks will enter the contest as favorites against Calicut Heroes.
