Ghana Senior National Men’s 3×3 Basketball Team Captain Benjamin Debrah has pointed out underestimating Mali was the main reason behind Ghana’s loss to the latter nation.
In the West African showdown, Ghana had a bright side but lost 17-21 to Mali in its opening game at the ongoing African Beach Games in Cape Verde.
Speaking to a representative from Ghana’s Olympic Committee in Cape Verde, the veteran Shooting Guard bemoaned his team’s inability to see the game complete through.
“We underestimated the guys we took an early lead but we weren’t able to maintain and getting to the latter part of the game we started coming up so I think in our next game, we will try and strategize our game plan…in our next game against Ivory Coast” he said.
Ghana plays Ivory Coast and host Cape Verde later today needing two wins to guarantee itself a spot in the next round of the tournament.
The competition ends on Sunday, June 23.
