Basketball is a global sport and it keeps on adding a vast fanbase every year which makes the 2023 Basketball World Cup all the more exciting and entertaining. In this game, Belarus will face the surging Latvia in a crucial game. More about BLR vs LAT Dream 11 will be given below.
Latvia has already made it to the Qualifiers and proven that they are the best team in Group D. They have won all their games comfortably and seem to be miles apart from the other two teams. What makes their last win destructive against Romania was that two of their main scorers, the Bertans brothers struggled to make an imprint but they have such deep talent that Lomazs’ top form guaranteed them a win. Belarus is hungry for a win and they will need to topple the Latvians to improve their chances. Latvia has a clear edge being unbeaten in three games, how will Belarus respond to the home team’s charge?
