BERK vs ZUH Dream11: With both the teams dropping game last week, the pressure will be on both Berkut Basketball Club and Zuhro Basketball when these two teams come face to face for a matchup in the 3rd round of Tajikistan Basketball League at Manezh on Saturday (IST).
Indeed, when the season has been so underwhelming, with the defeats a norm, it; hard to look for the positives. But it’s hard to argue that Berkut Basketball Club could have done better for the roster they have and where they finished last season. As things stand in the Tajikistan Basketball League, they are the second-worst team in the league with a 3-14 return on the season. However, their position on the table may not indicate that their current run is the best they have had in the season so far, for they have two wins from the last four games, albeit both against the worst team in the league Dis Basketball Club (70-45 and 42-37). But wins nonetheless.
Their opponent, Zuhro Basketball are not firing by any means and arrive in this game with as much need for a win as their hosts. In fact, of the last four games are taken into consideration, Zuhro are worse off Berkut in the performance index, as they have lost three times in that period, winning just once against BC 33 (60-52). Zuhro have a 7-9 record this season and sit fifth on the table heading into this game.

Abdul Aziz Abdullaev hasn’t featured in the last three games, but that is down to the coach’s decision.
