After the first 2 matches, the Vietnam women's volleyball team won all matches with 6 points. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team defeated Indonesia 3-0 and the Philippines 3-1 respectively.
This result helped Thanh Thuy and her teammates temporarily lead the rankings. Notably, Vietnam's score is equal to host Thailand, but is ranked higher due to the better set win/ loss ratio.
In the last 2 matches, the Golden Temple team also had 2 wins against Indonesia and the Philippines with the same score of 3-1. Therefore, their number of lost sets is 2, while Vietnam only lost 1 set.
The remaining two positions on the rankings are the Philippines and Indonesia women's teams. They have not had any points after 2 consecutive losses, but the Philippines is ranked higher due to having a higher number of wins (2 compared to 1).
The final round of the first stage of the SEA V.League will decide the final rankings of the teams. The final match between Vietnam and Thailand takes place at 5:00 p.m. on August 3; the third-place match between the Philippines and Indonesia takes place at 1:30 p.m. on the same day.
