The South Americans enter the game with a 3-0 advantage in the historical match-ups with the most recent victory at the 2012 World Grand Prix when the winners scored an astonishing 22 blocks en route to a 3-1 outcome.
Turkey’s lefty Neslihan Darnel is the biggest offensive weapon of her team, accompanied by a capable cast of big guns.
Brazil’s consistent duo of Sheila Castro and Paula Pequeno lead the offensive forces while middle blockers Fabiana Claudino and Taiza Menezes can create a big headache for any opponent with their ability defending at the net.
