PBA team league Hana Card is on the verge of winning the final championship.

In the postseason final of the "Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League 2025-2026" held at Goyang Kintex PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the 20th, Hana Card lost Game 3 to SK Rent-a-Car 1-4, but won Game 4 with a set score of 4-1.

As a result, Hana Card recorded 3 wins and 1 loss overall, leaving only one win to win the final championship. The probability is also leaning toward Hana Card. The probability that a team with 3 wins and 1 loss in the PBA team league final will win is 100% (2 times).

SK Rent-A-Car, which lost the first and second games side by side with a set score of 2-4, succeeded in reviving the game if it caught the third game, but lost the fourth game and pushed to the edge of the cliff. Now, if you lose even one game, you will lose the championship cup to Hana Card. The first PBA team to win two consecutive championships in the league is also getting farther and farther away. In particular, a team that has been driven to 1 win and 3 losses has never won a final in history. It is a SK rental car that challenges 0% of the probability.

SK Rent-A-Car, which was on the defensive in Game 3, launched a counterattack. In particular, "the eldest" Eddie Leffens (Belgium) won the first and third sets, and Kang Ji-eun and Cho Ye-eun, who were completely defeated in the second set (women's doubles) in the first and second games, won their first game against Kim Ga-young and Sakai Ayako (Japan) in the third game. SK Rent-A-Car took the third game with Kang Dong-gung beating Murat Najee Choclu (Turkiye) 11-0 (2 innings) in two innings with a set score lead of 3-1.

Hana Card was not discouraged at all despite the defeat in Game 3. In the first set of Game 4, Cho Klu-Ngoyen Kuok-Ngoyen (Vietnam) was defeated by Refuns-Ngodinnai (Vietnam) 5-11 in the first set, but in the second set, Kim Ga-young and Sakai won 9-4 (6 innings) against Kang Ji-eun and Cho Ye-eun, bringing the game back to square one. Q for the third set.As Nguyen quelled the powerful response to 15-5 (8 innings), Hana Card led the set score 2-1.

In the fourth set, Kim Byung-ho and Kim Jin-ah scored one point in five and six innings, respectively, against Conditional Hwi-Hida Orie (Japan), winning 9-7 (6 innings), leaving only one set to win the fourth game. Cho Klu, who was somewhat shaken in this series, finished the game with an 11-2 (4 innings) complete victory over Kang Dong-gung in the fifth set. It was a set-score 4:1 Hana Card victory.

Game 5 of the PBA team league postseason final will be held at 3 p.m. on the 21st. If Hana Card wins Game 5, it will confirm the championship. On the contrary, if SK Rent-A-Car's pursuit continues, Game 6 will be held at 9:30 p.m.
