The FIBA Women’s AfroBasket is a crucial tournament as the finalists of the event are going to qualify for the FIBA Women’s World Cup 2022. In this contest, Angola is going to tussle against Nigeria. More about ANG-W vs NGR-W Dream11 is going to be imparted here.
Nigeria is the title favorite and why not! The team is on a eighteen win streak in Africa and represented the continent in the Olympics, battling it out against world’s best team in USA. The team comes into this game beating Mozambique who made them work hard for the win even though a 67-50 score-line may not suggest so.
Angola also engaged in a feisty battle versus Mozambique. The team got outrebounded and committed a ton of turnovers but held Mozambique to 33% from the field. The challenge is only going to be tougher against the title favorite Nigeria and it will be interesting to see if these women can give Nigerians a run for their money. Nigeria has the edge but can Angola pull off an upset?
Match Timing: 21 September, @ 12:30 AM Venue: Palais Polyvalent des Sports
Palais Polyvalent des Sports is located in Yaounde, Cameroon, and the designated venue for all Women’s AfroBasket fixtures.
