This is the first time at this year's AVC Nations Cup that the Vietnamese women's volleyball team has taken the field with their best lineup. Striker Thanh Thuy, middle blocker Bich Tuyen are the main starters alongside setter Lam Oanh.
The two middle blockers are Nguyen Thi Trinh and Bich Thuy, who have been in good form recently. The remaining main blocker is Nguyen Thi Uyen, while Khanh Dang is the libero.
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is missing star striker Sana Anarkulova due to injury. However, they still have quality strikers such as Nurbergenova and Belchenko.
In game 1, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team showed overwhelming dominance. Bich Tuyen and Thanh Thuy had many classy moves to score consecutive points.
Meanwhile, Bich Thuy defended firmly, reading the situation well to neutralize the opponent. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan played like they were sleepwalking, making many mistakes.

When the score was 11-7, Bich Thuy's serve created a lot of trouble, helping the Vietnamese women's volleyball team score 7 consecutive points to lead 18-7. They quickly won 25-15 in this game.
This result was somewhat surprising as Kazakhstan was considered a strong team, a candidate for the championship. But this did not happen again in game 2. Kazakhstan played better, overcoming many previous mistakes.
Meanwhile, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet made an unreasonable adjustment when he withdrew Nguyen Thi Uyen and replaced her with Vi Thi Nhu Quynh. This greatly affected the team's playing style, especially in the first step.
Thanh Thuy was forced to take too many balls by the opponent, leading to her not being able to catch the first step well.
However, the home team also created many difficulties and only lost by a not too far margin of 19-25. This was only the first lost set of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team at this year's AVC Nations Cup.
In game 3, everything returned to normal when the home team returned to the lineup from game 1. Kazakhstan, after a game of effort, gradually lost strength.
When the first problem was solved, Bich Tuyen was free to attack again. Her series of points helped the Vietnamese women's volleyball team lead 7-0 right from the beginning of game 3.
Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's team won overwhelmingly 25-7 to regain the advantage.
In game 4, the first step anxiety reappeared in the first few minutes. But then there were no more mistakes as they won 25-16 to end the match.
With this victory, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team entered the AVC Nations Cup finals for the third consecutive time and has a good chance of successfully defending the championship.
