With 11th straight FIBA Asia Cup qualification, India book ticket to World Cup 2027 qualifiers
The Statesman Siliguri
|March 24, 2025
India displayed poise in the endgame to survive the hard-fighting Bahrain 81-77 in Group H and secured their place in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 from the final qualifying phase after Chinese Taipei and Guam, who booked their spots after going 1-2 in Group G.
"Indian Cagers dominate Group H with wins over Bahrain and Iraq, securing their spot in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 And that's not all—they've also punched their ticket to the FIBA World Cup 2027 Qualifiers!," the Basketball Federation of India posted on X.
Clutch plays from Arvind Krishnan and Pranav Prince on both ends of the floor enabled India to eke out the all-important win after it coughed up a lead as big as 12 points and trailed by two with 1:54 left.
This was India's second straight victory in Group H of the final qualifying tournament for the FIBA Asia Cup 2025. They had beaten Iraq 97-77 in their other Group H match on Friday.
