Phl belles in must-win game vs Kiwis
The Philippine Star
|June 11, 2025
Alas Pilipinas eyes a sweep of its last two Pool B matches including one against New Zealand today for a chance at making the AVC Nations Cup semifinals in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The Nationals' bid suffered a massive blow following their 16-25, 25-21, 24-26, 25-23, 15-13 defeat to the Iranians Monday that sent the former from a share of the lead down to third with a 2-1 record.
Iran, along with Kazakhstan, currently leads the way with a pristine 3-0 record.
That is the reason the Filipinas are in desperate need of a win over the Kiwis in their duel set at 2 p.m.
