IRQ vs IND Dream11: Having lost the opening game by the barest of margins, India will look to return to winning ways when it plays against Iraq in the second game of FIBA Asia Cup 2021 qualifier at Al Shaeb Hall, in Baghdad on Monday night (IST). India seemed in control of their opening game against Bahrain as they had a four-point advantage with just 11 seconds remaining in the regulation time. But the team failed to capitalize on the possession, missed a couple of free throws and allowed Bahrain to steal the ball at one instance, which eventually undid the Indian team in the end. Now the team must regroup and face Iraq away. This is an important game, for a defeat here could ring the alarm bells for the Indian team in this qualifying campaign. Iraq are also coming into this game on the back of a defeat following 87-68 result against Lebanon in their opening game. And considering they are playing in front of the home fa, they will look at this game as a good opportunity to open their account in the qualifying campaign.
