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

France’s defense completely took away the Australians effort. They allowed below 30% from the field and then made hay on the back of Gabby Williams, converting around 48% of their shots. Their long-range shooting looked off in absence of Marine Johannes and only Gabby made a big impact from there. The team did get outrebounded 48:36 against a massive Aussie lineup but one thing is for sure, the French women keep playing defense even after conceding offensive rebounds. This was a statement win on the defensive end.

Talking about defense, the Canadian women entered as a sturdy defensive unit and lived up to their expectations. It was on par with their reputation of shutting down the long-range shooting and they held the Serbians below 20%, while also forcing 19 turnovers. Offensively, they showed the tendency to go either inside or in mid-range, attempting just 9 threes while banking upon the inside skills of Kayla Alexander. Kia Nurse had a solid return, especially on defense and Canada looked like an improved team compared to the Olympics.
