In this game, Spanish women will undertake a knockout game versus the French women. The winner of this game will meet the winner of the match between Japan and Belgium. More about ESP-W vs FRA-W Dream 11 will be given below.
Spain was clinical in the group phase and won all of their games as the pairing of Ndour and Gil was too much to handle for most teams. France has not been disciplined on both ends and after losing two of their groups, they must be wary of the threat posed by the Spanish women. Spain can lock the perimeter, clog the paint, and also play great team defense, while the French women do have offensive weapons on Johannes, Williams, Miyem, and Gruda, they are yet to find consistency. Spain has the edge here but if the French women can muster up some discipline and be wary of their shot selection they can take down Spain. The marquee matchup here is between Astou Ndour and Sandrine Gruda.
Match Timing: 4 August, @ 05:30 PM 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.
