MIES (Switzerland) - Groups C and D are all set to plunge back into action in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers as the lineups of the eight teams competing on November 30 have been confirmed.
Click on the countries below to see the full rosters:
Group C: Iran, Jordan, Syria, Iraq
Group D: Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Qatar, India
Iran and Jordan are looking to earn their second win in as many games in Group C by repeating against the same sides they beat in convincing fashion back in the opening window's first set of matches last November 27.
Team Melli knocked down 19 three-pointers to deal Iraq a 94-68 beatdown, and will definitely look to emulate as much when they lock horns again at the Nouhad Nawfal Sports Complex in Zouk Mikael, Lebanon.
The Falcons, on the other hand, began their campaign with a 74-59 conquest of Syria at the Prince Hamza Hall in Amman, and their sights are indeed set on capitalizing on homecourt advantage once more.
Group D, meanwhile, will see Lebanon and Saudi Arabia shoot for back-to-back victories as well after posting contrasting wins back on Thursday.
The Cedars needed some luck to escape Qatar by way of a 75-74 decision at the Lusail Arena, and are surely hoping for a more comfortable win against the World Cup hosts when they duke it out in Zouk Mikael.
The Saudis had it easier though following a 75-51 whipping of India in Riyadh, but repeating that could be easier said than done as their rematch will be held at their foes' own turf at the Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
