The game is a part of the FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers. Here, the Palestinian men are going to take on Saudi Arabia as a part of the Group H battle in Jeddah, which is in Saudi Arabia. More about KSA vs PAL Dream 11 will be given below.
Saudi Arabia is perhaps the most well-built team in the group and has both size and athleticism. Palestine has great scoring talent but they seem to lack the bench depth that can carry on their great starts. The guard matchup between Khaled and Kyndall has to be one of the most riveting matchups as both guards can heat up quickly. However, Saudi Arabia can also face problems from Sani Sakakini who has proven to be tough to stop inside. The Saudi Arabians have an edge considering they are playing at home but Palestinian offense can’t be underestimated either.
