India’s win over Pakistan was their third consecutive win in CAVA Men’s Nations League 2025.
The Indian men’s volleyball team defeated Pakistan in their crossover meeting in the second round of CAVA Men’s Nations League 2025. India will next face Kazakhstan on June 3 while Pakistan are scheduled to meet Iran on the same day.
Pakistan, who topped Pool A, entered the match as slight favourites given they are also the higher-ranked nation between the two. India, however, were on the game right from the go and dismantled their arch-rivals in 1 hour and 30 mins in straight sets 25-15, 25-19, 25-23.
In the earlier two matches in the day, Iran beat Kazakhstan comfortably 3-0 (25-15, 30-28, 25-15) while Kyrgyzstan fought back from 0-2 down at one stage to defeat Turkmenistan 3-2 (19-25, 21-25, 25-15, 25-21, 15–13).
