Defending champions India and Pakistan set up a summit clash in the men's volleyball tournament at the ninth SAF Games after defeating Sri Lanka and Bangladesh respectively in Islamabad on Friday.

The experienced Indian team was hardly challenged by the minnows as they emerged triumphant at 25-14, 25-18, 25-18 in just 58 minutes.

Pakistan also had it as easy, thrashing Bangladesh 25-14, 25-19, 25-18 in the other semi-final.

The Sri Lankans tried their best to put up a fight against the favourites but had no answer to the fast paced Indian attacks.

This will be the sixth time the arch-rivals will clash in the SAF Games final. India have won four of the five earlier matches.

The Indians are confident of maintaining their supremacy over their neighbours and coach Sreedharan predicted his wards will surely capture the title again.
