SK Rent-A-Car of the Pro-Danggu (PBA) team league won the 2nd place NH Nonghyup Card and is close to winning the 3rd round.

SK Rent-A-Car defeated NH Nonghyup Card by a set score of 4-2 in the 7th day of the third round of the 'Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League 2025-2026' held at Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, on the 20th. As a result, SK Rent-A-Car has won six consecutive games and maintained its first place (6-1, 18 points) in the round.

As a result, SK Rent-A-Car is on the verge of securing a postseason berth for the third time this season after winning Hana Card in the first round and Welcome Savings Bank in the second round. SK Rent-A-Car beat Woori Financial Capital in the championship game last season and reached the top of the season.




On the same day, SK Rent-A-Car was defeated by Eddie Refunce (Belgium) and Cho Jae-ho (Mamin Gum (Vietnam) by 2-11 (4 innings), but Cho Ye-eun, who paired with Hida Orié (Japan) in the second set, swept the "finishing high run of 5 points" and defeated Kim Min-ah and Kim Bo-mi 9-5 (6 innings).

SK Rent-A-Car widened the gap to 3-1 with Kang Dong-gung, who continued his momentum in the third set, turning Mamin Gum 15-3 (5 innings) and Ngodinnai (Vietnam) and Kang Ji-eun in the fourth set, turning Kim Hyun-woo 1-Kim Bo-mi 9-7 (5 innings). In the fifth set, the refusals lost 4-11 (2 innings) to Cho Jae-ho, but Kang Ji-eun beat Kim Min-ah 9-4 (6 innings) in the sixth set, securing a 4-1 win at the set score.

While NH Nonghyup Card fell to third place (5 wins, 2 losses, 14 points) due to the loss, Hana Card beat Huons 4-1 to achieve 5 wins and 2 losses (15 points) based on the even performance of its team members. As a result, the third-round winner is more likely to be determined by a match between the first-place SK Rent-A-Car and the second-place Hana Card on the 21st.




If SK Rent-A-Car wins by securing three points against Hana Card on the 21st, the eighth day of the third round, the championship will be confirmed because the maximum points available for the remaining teams cannot exceed the points already secured by SK Rent-A-Car. On the contrary, if the result of a full set victory (2 points), a loss, or a full set defeat (1 point), the winning team will be determined by the final day of the game. In this case, not only SK Rent-A-Car and Hana Card, but also NH Nonghyup Card will participate in the competition for the championship.

In addition, in other games held on the same day, Welcome Savings Bank and Harim won a set-score 4-0 against High1 Resort and SY side by side. Woori Financial Capital defeated Crown Haitai 4-2.
