Group E: Australia, Iran, Jordan, New Zealand, Philippines, Syria
The pool's games will once again be held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, starting with a meeting between New Zealand and Syria at 14:00 local time, with the former looking to continue their hot streak.
After a 0-2 start into this new World Cup cycle, the Tall Blacks have notched their 5th straight victory last Friday at the expense of budding rivals Iran, but needed extra time before coming away with the 93-91 decision.
Team Melli, on the other hand, will try to get back on track when they face another familiar opponent in the Philippines in the 20:00 night-cap of the triple-header affair, hoping to keep their mastery of Gilas.
But they know that it won't be any easy, with the home team a confident bunch once again after beating Jordan in overtime, 82-81, behind Kai Sotto, CJ Perez, and Kevin Quiambao to lay their 4-game losing skid to rest.
Taking the floor in the second game of the day, set for a 17:00 tip-off time, would be Australia and the Falcons, with the Boomers looking to extend their unbeaten run to 8 games - and get closer to Qatar.
