Iran has earned two wins against Australia and Uzbekistan so far and lost to Thailand and South Korea in the competition, underway at Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.
Iran will play in the 5th-8th playoffs on Sunday.
"We tried to be serious from the very beginning. We took nothing for granted against Uzbekistan. Australian and Uzbek volleyballs were close to our volleyball style, so we could brush them off to complete the preliminary round with two wins against them and two losses to Korea and host Thailand," Shabanian said.
"I think this event is at the top level as I have been in the previous editions and I can see that teams are very determined and well-prepared here," she added.
"I think the level of the competition is very high and South Korea, China and Japan are very strong technically. They play like their senior teams," Shabanian concluded.
