In basketball, the Indian men’s team will face Kazakhstan in qualifiers of the FIBA Asia Cup at Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai, this evening. the match is scheduled to begin at 6 pm.
With three losses in three games so far, India is languishing at the bottom of its qualifying group, and a loss against Kazhakstan could virtually end its hopes of securing a spot in the tournament Finals in Saudi Arabia next year.
On the other hand, Kazhakstan is coming into the match after handing group topper Iran a default win 20-0 after refusing to travel to Tehran for their clash in the previous round. Despite this, the nation sits second with narrow wins against Qatar and India.
