Maldives’ only loss was against Nepal; the team won against Kyrgyzstan (26-24, 25-22 and 25-14, 25-18 and 15-10) , Bangladesh (25-16, 27-25 and 25-22) and Afghanistan (25-06, 25-07 and 25-08).

Hence, despite Wednesday’s loss, Maldives will play in the finals against Nepal. The final match will be held on Thursday.
