Ghana's National 3x3 Basketball Male Team has lost two straight games at the ongoing African Beach Games in Cape Verde pushing the team closer to a quick elimination from the maiden continental games.
Ghana lost 17-21 to Mali in its opening game before falling completely apart against host nation Cape Verde who run away with a 21-7 win. That puts Ghana in a tough spot to progress from the Pool since it needs a big win over much fancied Ivory Coast in the last game and favourable results from the other game between Mali and Cape Verde.
The team flew out of Ghana on Monday, June 17 and arrived in Cape Verde a day later; the opening ceremony took place on Saturday, June 14. Playing in its first major competition since making an appearance at the African championship in Togo last year, Ghana got off to a good start against Mali but fumbled midway through the encounter allowing Mali to take win.
Taking the foot off the gas was highlighted by Captain Benjamin Debrah who stated his team 'underestimated' Mali after the quick start. After suffering a 12-14 loss to Ivory Coast, the win over Ghana puts Cape Verde in an advantageous spot to qualify from the Pool.
