The fourth set was eagerly con- tested.. After a keen struggle, Honda and Akiyama led at 3-1, but the Indians equalised. The next two games were divided, but the winners brought the match to an end by securing the ninth and tenth

The chief factor that contributed towards the Indians' success was their ability to gain the net most of the time. Akiyama's lots often fell short and they had many op portunities to kill.
