Chennai Spartans to face Vietnamese club in PVL quarterfinal

After winning the inaugural edition of the RuPay Pro Volleyball League (PVL), Chennai Spartans are keeping the Indian flag high in the 2019 Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship, being held in Taiwan.

The team, which has some of the biggest stars of the Pro Volleyball League, has won matches against clubs from Thailand, Qatar, Australia and the host nation and find themselves in a strong position to bag a medal ahead of their quarterfinal encounter against the Vietnamese club TP HCM, to be held on Wednesday.

The team didn't start off on a bright note when it suffered a defeat at the hands of Kazakhstan's TNC Kazchrome but hasn't looked back since then. Powered by some superlative performances by Jerome Vineeth, they went on to rack up back-to-back wins in their next four games, the latest of which came against the home team Taichung Bank who lost to the Indian club in the tiebreaker.
