Nepal beat Iran to set up India volleyball final

TEHRAN, Aug. 06 (MNA) – Nepal national women’s volleyball team stormed into the final of the CAVA Women’s Volleyball Nations League after they defeated Iran in Kathmandu on Tuesday.

Iran lost to Nepal 3-0 (25-21, 28-26, 25-20) in the CAVA Women's Nations League Volleyball semifinals on Tuesday.

The win also helped Nepal exact revenge on the Iranians who had defeated the hosts 25-16, 16-25, 25-23, 15-25, 15-13 in the group stage, with the loss costing Nepal a top-placed finish in the league.

But, on Tuesday, Nepal were more disciplined and technically better although they had to survive a scare from Iran in the second set.

Up next for Nepal is a blockbuster final against their South Asian rivals India, which is scheduled for Wednesday.
