TY vs CHT Dream11 Prediction : Taiyuan Vs Chunghua Telecom Best Dream 11 team for WSBL 2020 Match

TY Vs CHT Dream11 Team Overview, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5: Second place thrown wide open after Taiyuan suffer a stunning defeat yesterday.From cantering their way into second place to suffering a stunning defeat to Taipower yesterday. The set of events unravelling on Tuesday perfectly summed up Taiyuan’s sortie in the ongoing edition of WSBL with inconsistency perfectly encapsulating the side’s current sojourn.After enduring a lacklustre start to the 2020 season to punching above their weight to make massive strides and occupy second place, Taiyuan are back at doing what they do best.

Akin to last year, the side holds a 100% winning record in the marquee league this time around as well with the side mustering up its 10th win in 10 games yesterday after downing Telecom 94-69 yesterday. Where nothing has changed for Cathay for the good, unfortunately for Taipower, things have failed to improve for the worse.
