HONG KONG - China registered their sixth consecutive win in the FIVB Women's Nations League as they rallied to beat Bulgaria 3-1 (20-25, 25-7, 25-10, 25-15) here on Friday.

China were unbeaten since the start of the campaign heading into the Hong Kong Coliseum with five straight wins while Bulgaria only managed one victory out of six and lost all the previous five games.

China didn't start the game on the right foot as they put on a subpar performance which allowed their opponents to take a shock lead.
