Akhin’s performance proved crucial for the Blitz as the game turned into a midfield battle. Chennai’s ploy to shift Jobin Varghese to the left was successful, but Manoj and Nandagopal kept Ahmedabad going with consistent blocks. But spiked errors by Angamuthu and Santhosh leaked the points to the Ahmedabad defenders.
With Moyo and Renato constantly changing the direction of the ball, Chennai looked to blitz back into the game. But as captain Muthusamy Appavu and Angamuthu blocked Chennai’s move, the game control was again in the hands of the defenders.
Muthusamy bowled constantly for the Attackers in the middle. The presence of high-flying Daniel also caused concern for Chennai. Akhin tried to get the team back in the middle but did not get much support from his teammates.
The Defenders pounced on the opportunity to win 5-0 and climb to the top spot. Nandagopal continued to excel and his strong serves were unanswered from Chennai’s court. Ahmedabad swept the match and secured three crucial points.
