JPN-W vs CAN-W Dream11 FIBA WOMEN’S World CUp Projections, Stats & Analysis

Japan’s defense has been on song but their offense looks a bit off and the major reason for that is they lack their major playmaker Rui Machida and sharpshooter Saki Hayashi. They shot just 22% from the three-point line, dishing just 14 assists for just 16 turnovers, clearly implying the void created by the absence of their two-star players. They will need to make their three-pointers because the inside game is still solid with Maki Takada and Himawari Akaho.

On the other hand, Canada has been fantastic on the defensive end and has now shut down two teams in a row that are loaded with talent. Kayla Alexander’s rebounding and Natalie Achonwa’s inside game have paid dividends while the backcourt defense of Kia Nurse, Shay Colley, and Bridget Carleton has been amazing. Nirra Fields gives scoring touch off the bench while Laeticia Amihere at the Forward position also gives the team incredible depth.
