PVL 2025: Hyderabad Black Hawks Outshine Goa Guardians with a 3–1 Triumph

In the opening set, Yamamoto and Sahil dominated the attack, while Nathaniel Dickinson and Chirag Yadav fought hard to keep Goa in contention. A fierce spike from Sahil closed out the set in Hyderabad’s favour.

The second set saw both teams trade points evenly, with Goa gaining brief control through Dushyant’s sharp blocking. However, Niyaz broke through with crucial points before Sahil once again delivered under pressure to give Hyderabad a two-set cushion.

Goa showed resilience in the third set, riding on Dushyant Singh’s fiery super serve and coordinated plays from Prince and Gaurav Yadav, who helped them pull one back.

Hyderabad quickly regrouped in the fourth set, with Shikhar Singh’s excellent blocking and Yamamoto’s unstoppable spikes dismantling Goa’s defence. Continuous unforced errors from the Guardians widened the gap, allowing Hyderabad to cruise to a confident finish and secure a much-needed victory.

Kankanala Abhishek Reddy, Principal Owner of the Hyderabad Black Hawks, expressed his delight after the win:

“It was a crucial match for us to stay alive in the semi-final race, and the team rose to the occasion. Winning at home in front of our fans makes it even more meaningful. Hyderabad remains firmly in the hunt, and this win keeps the energy high for the rest of the season.”
