CAN vs SEN Dream11 : Canada look to propel themselves into the top 2 when they take on a languishing Senegal outfit in Group H today
The final day of the first round of the group stage matches in the FIBA Basketball world Cup 2019 is upon us and it comes bearing with it colossal consequences. While we have had some groups wrapped up, Group H comes bearing with it a completely different scenario, thrown wide open for all the four sides in the marquee tournamnet at the moment.
For Canada in particular, their final group stage fixture is a momentous opportunity to revive their campaign and make one last surge for a spot in the ensuing round of the tournamnet. Despite having tasted defeated in both their previous encounters, with a defeat giving one point as well, Canada know their aspirations of making it into round 2 of the group stage stand well and alive when they take on Senegal today.
What will especially give them the much needed impetuous of pulling off a massive win is the fact that Australia and Lithuania, the top 2 sides at the moment in Group H will be facing off against each other today as well, meaning one side is going to finish of four points. And with Canada up against Senegal, they know they can pile on the points in this lopsided clash and will propel themselves above the loser from the other clash in the group.
Elsewhere, while the ramifications for Canada are massive, Senegal have little to incentivise today’s clash. They have been the worst side in the group by some distance, being trounced by all their opponents and would be looking to treat today’s contest as one final chance to make a name for themselves before moving onto the Classification Round.

CAN vs SEN Dream11 Point Guard
With a humongous 8 assists in the previous clash against Australia, Canada’s point guard, Kevin Pangos is the first player we are bringing in this facet. He was a quissential part of Canada bridging the gap between themselves and their lofty opponents on the day, running the play from his own half with consummate success as he not only turned over player but also played the role of a two way player to perfection for his side.
We have also gone in with Lamine Sambe from Senegal for this clash.
CAN vs SEN Dream11 Shooting Guard
With neither side having seen their point guards rake up the points till now, our main reason behind picking up Brady Heslip was to divulge in a player who is bound to play and comes in at a cheap price. At just 6.5 credits, he helps us free up funds elsewhere and is bound to be amongst the points with the rest of the side screening up Senegal’s backline and allowing him to find his range for the open threes.
CAN vs SEN Dream11 Small Forward
Senegal’s best player from their contest against Lithuania, Maurice Ndour impressed with his pristine all around sowing, one where he got 8 points, 4 steals and put in the 2 blocks as well. The small forward put in a profound performance, one that saw him express his nous of abilities as both an attacking and defensive player to help his side put on some kind of a fight.
The 7 rebounds and 2 assists for Canada’s Melvin Ejim see us rope him in into our side as well with the player using his affinity to be involved in the side’s attacking sojourns to get behind a majority of the rebounds fathomed.
CAN vs SEN Dream11 Power Forward
Kyle Wiltjer is selected by us in the facet due to his ability to not only come and flourish inside the circle and shoot down from the 15 metre range but also as someone who will dutifully guide his side’s post and screen players. A quissential component of Canada’ s side, his partnership with his centre is going to determine by how many points Canada will win this.
CAN vs SEN Dream11 Centre
The 18 points and 2 assists see us bring in Canada’s Khem Birch as the first player in this compartment of our side. He is also good at laying up the ball and providing assists from under the basket along with sending down free throws and could be among one of the highest scorers in today’s match.
Youssou Ndoye from Senegal completes our picks for this encounter.
