IRQ vs IND Dream11 Match Prediction

 

IRQ vs IND Dream11: India face Iraq in a crunch FIBA Asia Cup 2021 qualifier at Al Saed Hall, in Baghdad, on Monday night (IST). Having dropped the first game, both the teams will be looking to out their qualifying campaign back on track with a win in this game.
Indian team must have left the Khalifa Sports City Stadium with a feeling that they had just shot themselves in their own foot. After all, the Indian team had a four-point advantage with only 11 seconds left in the game. But after wasting the two free throws, India committed a turnover and then Bahrain’s Hesham Sarhan dropped a game-winning three-pointer right at the death to snatch an unlikely win for the home team. India lost 68-67 and now face a must-win game situation against Iraq.
That said, Iraq came out second-best in their encounter against Lebanon as they lost 87-68 in their opening game. Iraq are also the host and will be playing in front of the fervent home support, so they will be confident to get on board here.
