AMMAN, Sept. 12 (Petra) — The Jordanian national basketball team
turned in a gritty, two-way masterclass on Saturday, powering past
Qatar 76–65 in a hard-fought group-stage battle to keep their
momentum rolling.

The national squad orchestrated a balanced offensive and defensive
masterclass, dictating the tempo across crucial stretches to
comfortably secure an 11-point victory and cement their foothold in
the tournament standings.

The Falcons will immediately turn their focus to a massive Group B
regular-season finale, locking horns with powerhouse Iran tomorrow,
Sunday, tip-off scheduled for an early morning 04:00 Jordan time.

Entering the clash on the back of a statement win over Qatar, the
national team looks to punch its ticket to the knockout rounds. Group
B action features Jordan alongside Iran, Qatar, and Chinese Taipei,
with the top two teams from each group securing direct berths to the
quarterfinals, joined by the two best third-place finishers across
the three groups.

Jordan opened their group campaign against Chinese Taipei before
capturing Saturday’s vital win over Qatar, setting the stage for
Sunday’s heavyweight collision with the Iranians.
