MIES (Switzerland) - Groups C and D are ready to return to action in Window 3 of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers as lineups of the eight teams competing on Thursday, July 2, have been confirmed.
Click on the countries below to check the squads:
Group C: Iran, Jordan, Syria, Iraq Group D: Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Qatar, India
Both groups are hitting the hardcourt again about 72 hours after opening the window, with India and Qatar raising the quadruple-header's curtains at the Veer Savarkar Indoor Stadium, at 18:00 Ahmedabad time.
The 2027 World Cup hosts are keen to bounce back after falling short against Saudi Arabia at home last Monday, while India will try to salvage some sense of pride after being eliminated from contention by Lebanon.
Another pair coming off losses will play next as Syria and Iraq meet at the Prince Hamza Hall in Jordan at 16:30 Amman time, with the former hoping to see their efforts lead to a win after a near-upset of Iran.
Iraq, on the other hand, will look for ways to break through after suffering a harsh beatdown at the hands of Jordan, who have remained on top of Group A with a pristine 4-0 record following that win.
Jordan will try to extend their unbeaten run to five when they take on Iran at home at 19:30 local time. They will face a team that has returned to its winning ways by pulling off an escape act against Syria.
Capping off the gameday would be another duel between Lebanon and Saudi Arabia in a battle of 3-1 teams in Group B at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. Tip-off time is scheduled at 20:00 local time.
