BASKETBALL SIDE STEP UP ASIAN CUP CAMPAIGN
Jun 12, 2021
The national Basketball team has continued its unbeaten start to its 2021 Asian Cup (Indonesia) campaign with an 88-77 Group F victory over Palestine at Prince Hamzah Hall in Amman’s Al Hussein Youth City.
The win takes Jordan to six points after three games, three behind leaders Kazakhstan who have played five games. Palestine remain on seven points after five games and Sri Lanka are bottom after five defeats.
Next up is Kazakhstan in a crunch match that could decide the group.
The top two from each of the six groups will qualify directly for the Asian Cup, while the third-placed teams will be divided into two groups of three, from which the first and second qualify for the Asian Cup finals.
