MIES (Switzerland) - Groups A and B are ready to finish Window 2 of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers strongly as lineups of the eight teams competing on Sunday, March 1, have been confirmed.
Click on the teams below to check their full rosters:
Group A: Australia, Guam, New Zealand, Philippines
Group B: China, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea
The 3-0 Australia are looking to end the window atop Group A when they take on a hungry Philippines side at the latter's home floor at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, with the tipoff set at 19:30 local time.
Gilas fell just short against the erstwhile winless New Zealand by way of a 69-66 decision, becoming one of the three teams that failed to keep their winning ways after going 2-0 in the opening window last November.
The other two were Japan and Korea as they fell to China and Chinese Taipei, respectively, making their meeting at the Okinawa Arena at 14:00 local time - which opens the gameday - a race on who gets back on track first.
Those results have also made the China-Chinese Taipei bout a battle between teams hoping to on a win streak. The two will play at the Mall of Asia Arena as well, with tipoff scheduled at 16:00 local time.
Completing the quadruple-header offering would be an all-Oceania affair featuring the Tall Blacks and Guam, both of which are set to play at the University of Guam Field House in Mangilao Village at 17:00 local time.
Teams from Groups C and D, on the other hand, will return to action on March 2 to close out Window 2.
