Hosts China kept up their winning run with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Poland during the latest Federation of International Volleyball (FIVB) Women's Nations League stop in Hong Kong on Sunday.

Captain Yuan Xinyue scored a match-high 16 points and Li Yingying added 14 for the home side.

Poland beat China 3-0 at last season's stop in Hong Kong, and this year's rematch saw Poland take the upper hand early on, before China came back from 14-9 down to get level at 15-15. China went on to claim the frame 25-23 following Wu Mengjie's smash.

China's star outside hitter Zhu Ting did not play due to injury but her teammates didn't seem to miss her as they cruised past Poland in straight sets 25-23, 25-15, 25-19.
