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.
