Today at 11 PM, the team "Shabab Al-Ahli" will play against "Mannama" from Bahrain in the subsequent match of the Super League of Western Asia for basketball. The "Riders of Dubai" hope to repeat their victory and reach the finals for the first time, while the hosts want to avenge their defeat in the first match in Dubai with a score of 104:91 last week.
The coach of "Shabab Al-Ahli", Serbian Miodrag Perisic, relies on his experience; previously, he led "Mannama" to victory in the Bahraini Super Cup for basketball in 2016. The chances for "Shabab Al-Ahli" to earn a deserved victory in Mannama seem strong; they have many advantages, which manifested in the first match, both in offensive play under their own basket and successful shots (59.6% of two-point shots), as well as in the success of free throws (79%).
"Shabab Al-Ahli" relies on its seasoned players, particularly the American armature Dishonda Washington, who scored 25 points in the first match, 11 successful rebounds, and 10 positive assists, as well as Kaisa Omar, who scored 19 points and made 6 successful rebounds. An important contribution to the victory was also made by the bench players of "Shabab Al-Ahli", who scored 20 points compared to 17 points by the bench players of "Mannama".
