Aytak Salamat (15 factors) and Mahsa Saberi (14 factors) delivered in double-digits and persistently performed all through the match. Iran carried out properly in working the wings, and largely by their strategic serves. They accomplished the match with seven service winners, which helped outline the pacing of the match.
“Our team is a very young team and this was such a big experience for them. Our main goal is to just keep improving every day. We played lots of good teams here. It’s always a challenge but it’s my job to always keep them positive about that,” Australia coach Russell Borgeaud mentioned.
Iran’s Maedeh Borhani Esfahani, who has visited and performed within the Philippines on a number of events, was glad to be again.
“There are so lovely many fans here in the Philippines and I am happy to be meeting all of them. It was great to play here. Sometimes we had difficult moments, but we always came out with a good fight no matter what. I’m really happy to finish this tournament with a win,” she mentioned.
Iran’s greatest end within the AVC Cup was in Vīnh Phúc, Vietnam in 2012 as they ranked sixth. Australia completed in seventh place within the 2008 and 2018 editions, each held in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
China and Japan will lock horns within the remaining match on Monday.
