The Olympics are nearing the conclusion as the race to Gold medal edges closer and closer. In this contest, the mighty USA women juggernaut will face the Serbian finesse, and it will be an interesting game for many alluring match-ups. More about USA W vs SER W Dream 11 will be given below.
There is no doubt that the USA is gigantic whether we are talking about boys, girls, men, women, or whosoever in whatsoever age group. The basketball culture in the USA gives birth to versatile, athletic, and savvy players who know all about winning. For the Serbians, their experience and depth make them a tough team to play against. They have shooters, drivers, playmakers, rebounders, and defenders at all positions, however, the same goes for the USA, who are by far more athletic and have more physical players. The trouble for Serbia will be mostly at the herculean frontcourt of the USA which contains Wilson, Stewart, Griner, Charles, and Fowles, which is too difficult to deal with. Although the Serbs do have the services of Vasic, Brooks, Krajisnik, and Crvendakic, however, the USA is on a mind-boggling 53 game-winning streak and it will take a miracle for the Serbia women to advance for the gold medal game.
Match Timing: 6 August, @ 10:10 AM Venue: Saitama Super Arena
The contest will take place at Saitama Super Arena, which is the designated spot for basketball matches in Tokyo Olympics 2020.

*Points, rebounds, and assists from last game* 1. Breanna Stewart Points: 23 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 03 PPG: 16.0 RPG: 9.0 APG: 5.0 Stewart is one of a kind Power Forward who can jolt the opposition’s defense through her superior skills. Her feet movement is excellent, and she uses her quickness to get positions inside, shoot from mid-range while also being a long-range gunner. She is also well-adept at making tough passes and can also pick up boards while playing elite defense. Breanna’s talent makes her a candidate for Super Player in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball scenario.
2. Sonja Vasic Points: 16 Rebounds: 10 Assists: 02 PPG: 11.3 RPG: 7.3 APG: 3.3 Sonja is one of the smoothest operators on the floor. What are her offensive abilities? That is a long list! She can drive to the rim, get a low-post position, face-up from mid-range, click on low-range bombs, make floaters, runners, fadeaways, etc. Vasic is also a high-quality rebounder, superb playmaker, and makes life tough for offensive players on the defensive end. She can be picked as the Pro-Player in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball setting.
3. Brittney Griner Points: 15 Rebounds: 08 Assists: 00 PPG: 13.5 RPG: 6.5 Brittney is a terrific low-post player and rebounder who uses her size very well. She has an effective mid-range and face-up game which makes her difficult to defend. Griner is also a superb defender and overall, she is a prototypical throwback Center.
4. Jelena Brooks Points: 18 Rebounds: 02 Assists: 01 PPG: 13.5 RPG: 3.0 Brooks is a veteran Power Forward who is a vital part of the Serbian effort. Her incredible shooting touch coupled with silky smooth feet movement off the ball make her a difficult player to stop.
5. A’Ja Wilson Points: 10 Rebounds: 02 Assists: 04 PPG: 17.8 RPG: 8.5 Wilson has terrorized multiple defenses throughout the Olympics. She has an athletic built and her post footwork makes her an absolute nightmare to defend. Now, add a smooth jumper in the mix and A’Ja is flat out unguardable at times. She is a great defender and is also a polished rebounder.
6. Aleksandra Crvendakic Points: 03 Rebounds: 02 Assists: 02 PPG: 7.5 RPG: 4.0 APG: 3.8 Crvendakic is an excellent all-around player who has a pivotal role in the Forward position. Aleksandra is primarily a long-range shooter and her skill set also involves distributing the ball and collect rebounds.
7. Ana Dabovic Points: 13 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 06
8. Diana Taurasi Points: 04 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 04
