AUS-W vs CAN-W Dream11 Prediction FIBA Live Australia Women vs Canada Women

AUS-W vs CAN-W Dream11: FIBA Women’s World Cup is now in its final day and oh boy, what a breathtaking tournament it has been. Honestly, the world basketball scene has not yet found the answer to counter USA whether it is Men’s or Women’s leg and they continue to be a Galaxy of talent. However, there will still be a lot of talent on display as grief-stricken Australia takes on rising Canadian outfit.

IFor the second time in two years, Australians lost in the last seconds to China and comes into the game after a heartbreaking 59-61 loss against China despite a 15 points outing by Samantha Whitcomb. On the other hand, as expected, Canada had no answer for USA and lost 43:83 as no player reached double-figures. Can Canada recover their confidence against a charged-up but heatbroken Australian team?

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

53 seconds to go, Australia has the ball and are up by two points but Siyu Wang strips the ball off Steph Talbot, runs it down, gives to Liwei Yang, who then dumps it to Sijing Huang who makes the layup. Cayla George misses a shot and then Siyu Wang draws a foul deep in the shot-clock, earning two free-throws and nailing them. To finish the game, Ezi Magbebor receives the ball from the three-point line, but misses the drive against a pesky China defense. Sigh…. This is the second time that Australians lost to China by just a few points, this one will hurt worse as it was on the home floor.

Canada stood no chance against the USA, shooting just around 21% and was down by 20 in the first quarter itself, no chance at all! This is sure to deter the confidence of a team that has proven that it has improved by leaps and bounds and has entered the Golden era of Basketball. Bridget Carleton has been an inspirational shooting threat, Kayla Alexander has pinned down rebounds whereas Natalie Achonwa has shown amazing physicality. Shay Colley, Kia Nurse, and Nirra Fields form a strong trio in the backcourt whereas Laeticia Amihere is an emerging young player. Can Canada at least be the second-best soon as USA continues to rip apart the competition?
