Nepal’s hopes of securing the title in the CAVA Women’s Nations League were dashed on Wednesday as they lost the final match to India. Despite a courageous effort, the match extended to the fifth set, with Nepal ultimately falling short 3-2 at the National Sports Council’s covered hall.
The match began with promise for Nepal as they nailed the first set. However, India quickly responded by taking the second set. This back-and-forth pattern continued with Nepal winning the third set and India claiming the fourth, leading to a decisive fifth set.
In the fifth set, Nepal’s performance faltered, and they were defeated 15-5 by India, a team they had previously beaten in the league round. This loss marked a disappointing end for Nepal.
This defeat mirrors a similar outcome from the 13th South Asian Games (SAG) held in Nepal in 2019, where India won Nepal in the women’s volleyball final in a five-set match.
