Hence, Tuesday will be an opportunity for both sides to get their first win of the tournament.

On the other hand, Dominican Republic comfortably got past South Korea 3-0. In the Pool B standings, Turkey is placed fourth with a single point, while Korea is at the bottom with zero points to their name.

The countries coming from the same first-round pool only play against opponents from a different first-round pool. Each pool’s top four teams compete in a quarterfinal round, with the winners moving on to the semifinals. The World Championship trophy will be up for grabs for the last-four victorious teams, while the third-place match pits the losers against each other.
