Bangladesh notched a second straight victory in the Bangabandhu Asian Central Zone U-23 Men's International Volleyball Championship as they handed a 3-1 sets defeat to Kyrgyzstan at the Suhrawardi Indoor Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.

Bolstered by a straight sets win over Nepal in their opening match, Bangladesh succeeded despite facing a stiffer challenge from the Central Asian nation thanks to bold performances from Al Amin, Redwan, Sujan, Shafin and Tanveer among others.

Alipour Aroji's charges won the first set 26-24 before suffering a 21-25 defeat in the second set. Kyrgyzstan then gave the hosts a run for their money but Bangladesh won the next two sets 27-25 and 25-23 respectively.
