FIBA Women’s AfroBasket has begun and the finalists of the tournament will play in the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup slated for next year. This is going to be the second game of the tournament for Tunisia who will square off against Cote d’Ivoire. More about TUN-W vs IVC-W Dream11 is going to be imparted here.
Tunisia is coming off a loss against Mali but that comes as no surprise since the squad is outmatched at every position. They went cold in the previous game and shot just 18.5% from the floor while also conceding 64 rebounds. Tunisia just doesn’t have the team to compete against forces like Mali but may(a huge may) stand a chance against the Ivory Coast. While Ivory Coast has not been given much of a chance against top-tier teams like Mali, they have their best chances of victory over the Tunisian team. The teams have met six times in total with Ivory Coast winning five of them winning 74-50 in the 2019 edition of AfroBasket. Ivory Coast enters with an edge but can Tunisia bag one?
Match Timing: 19 September, @ 06:30 PM Venue: Palais Polyvalent des Sports
