Defeating India, Indonesian National Volleyball Team Against Taiwan in the Semifinals of the AVC Challenge Cup

The Indonesian women’s volleyball team will face Taiwan in the semifinals of the AVC Challenge Cup 2023, at the Tri Dharma Sports Hall, Gresik, Saturday (24/6/2023), at 16.30 WIB.

Indonesia met Taiwan after defeating India 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-16) in the last match of Group E AVC Challenge Cup 2023 for Women, Friday (23/6/2023).

The Indonesian women’s national team has ensured that they will qualify for the semifinals of the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup the day before. The team coached by Alim Suseno will meet the runner-up in Group F, Taiwan, who lost to Vietnam 0-3 in their last match (20-25, 17-25, 19-25).

Meanwhile, Vietnam, who won Group F, will face the runner-up in Group E, India, in the semifinals of the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup.

“Taiwan is not an easy opponent, they have good players. I have seen their game, hopefully tomorrow the players can play well and win,” said Alim Suseno.

The coach of the Indian national team, Chauhan Pritam Singh, stated that his team had given maximum resistance, but the host Indonesia appeared more solid both in attack and defense.

“We are still trying our best even though we have confirmed we will qualify for the semifinals, but indeed Indonesia has performed better. In the first set, the game was quite tight and balanced, but several times our players made mistakes,” he said.
