Bengaluru Torpedoes edged Hyderabad Black Hawks in a closely-fought match in the ongoing Prime Volleyball League (PVL) at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on February 11 (Friday). The Torpedoes remained unfazed under pressure and sealed the match with a 3-2 (15-12, 14-15, 15-12, 11-15, 15-13) scoreline.

It was the second consecutive win for the Torpedoes in the league. Meanwhile, things are not going well for the Hyderabad Black Hawks as they have now lost two matches on the trot.

The Torpedoes were dominant from the word go, earning a 11-8 lead with the help of setter Ranjit, attacker Pankaj Sharma and G.S. Varun's smart gameplay.

Rohit Kumar, along with E.J. John Joseph, shot some superb blocks to give the Hawks a 6-1 lead in the second set. The two teams were then involved in a neck-and-neck contest, with Noah Taitano and Rohit powering the Hawks to a 15-14 win to bag the set.
