NASHAMA WIN TO SECURE WORLD CUP PASSAGE

Jordan chalked up their fourth win in as many matches to guarantee their place in the next phase of qualification for the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China.

Dar Tucker produced another world-class performance with 28 points to lead Jordan to a comfortable 87-62 win over Syria to remain top of Group C.

That win, coupled with the weekend victory in India, has guaranteed that Jordan will have one of the top three places to go through, despite two matches still remaining against Lebanon and India.
