At this rate, there could be another matchup between Kim Ga-young and Thorong finals. There is a good chance that the best big match card in the women's professional league will appear.

Kim Ga-young (Hana Card) and Thong Piavi (Cambodia, Woori Financial Capital), who are dividing the women's professional team LPBA this season, advanced to the round of 32. It looks like a prelude to 'fate'. They can meet in the final if they are on a smooth roll.

Kim Ga-young and Throng advanced to the round of 32 in the round of 64 LPBA by beating Lee Da-jung and Kang Yu-jin, respectively, in the 5th Tour of the 2025-2026 Pro-Danggu 2025-2026 season held at Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do Province on the 29th.

Kim Ga-young was dragged 4-5 at the beginning of the game against Lee Da-jung on the same day, but succeeded in turning the game around 9-5 with five high runs in the eighth inning. He then scored 1-1-2 consecutive innings from the 10th inning to run 13-6. Lee Da-jung tied the score 13-13, but Kim Ga-young did not falter. After scoring one run in the 14th inning, he made two bank shots in the 15th inning and added four more runs to lead the game to 18-13. That's all for Lee Da-jung's pursuit. After continuing the lead, Kim Ga-young won 25-18 in 18 innings.

Thong also won the game with an accurate bank shot in the second half of the game. Thong, who succeeded in a bank shot in 15 innings when he was leading 12-11, continued that feeling and widened the gap with Kang Yoo-jin by scoring six high runs in 16 innings. He then scored four points in the 17th inning to make a match point and finished the game 25-12 in 18 innings.

As a result, Kim Ga-young and Throng will meet in the final if they win four more games. They were completely separated from each other in the round of 32. A PBA official said, "The match table was organized according to the ranking of the 64 strongest teams, and coincidentally, Kim Ga-young and Throng were completely divided. This means that the two players will not meet until they reach the final. If both players reach the final, another big match is expected."

Meanwhile, Lee Mi-rae (High1 Resort) won 25-13 (14 innings) against Choi Bo-ram. Lee Mi-rae, who was leading 15-11, added two runs each in the 12th and 13th innings to lead 19-13, and ended the game with a six-run high run in the 14th inning. Lee Mi-rae ranked first overall among the players who entered the LPBA round of 64 with an average of 1.786 on the day.

Kim Se-yeon finished the game 25-12 with a high run of 12 points in the 17th inning with a slight 13-12 lead against Kim Bo-reum. Kim Min-ah (NH Nonghyup Card) showed her concentration at the end of the game against Kim Chae-yeon and won a thrilling come-from-behind victory of 25-24 (21 innings).

Kang Ji-eun (SK Rent-a-Car), the MVP of the recently ended third round of the team league, defeated Lee Hwa-yeon 25-19 (20 innings). Park Jung-hyun (Harim) advanced to the round of 32 with 25-22 (23 innings) after a close game with Kim Bo-mi (NH Nonghyup Card). Cha Yu-ram (Huons) defeated Jung Da-hye 17-15 (25 innings). In addition, Ayako Sakai (Japan, Hana Card) Han Ji-eun Lee Woo-kyung (SY), Kim Sang-ah (Harim), Lee Shin-young (Huons), Han Seo-sol (Woori Financial Capital), Kim Jin-ah (Hana Card), Choi Hye-mi and Kim Ye-eun (Welcome Savings Bank) and Hida Orie (Japan) were listed on the list of 32 strongest contenders.
