Jesus Chourio was named the Player of the Match.
Calicut Heroes started strongly with Santhosh firing strong smashes early on. Vikas Maan played a key role in the middle zone for Calicut to stop Delhi’s attacks. But skipper Saqlain Tariq’s smart distribution kept his side into the game. Muhammad Jasim-led triple block earned Delhi a super point, halting Calicut’s early momentum.

Chourio started using his power to trouble Calicut’s defence. Birthday boy George Antony made two consecutive super serves in a row as the Toofans began dominating on court. Callicut’s libero Adarsh’s and Delhi’s libero Anand kept the crowd entertained with energetic defence.
Santhosh’s super serve gave Calicut a glimmer of hope. Shameem made couple of solid blocks to put pressure on Delhi’s attacks. In reply, Delhi captain Saqlain started moving away from the middle, finding Carlos Berrios to stage Delhi’s attacks. Ayush made a tremendous block on Raheem’s attempt and earned Toofans a super point to win the match.
