Defensively, they were no better, as they got outrebounded 42-27 on the boards, allowed the hosts to convert 58% from the field and committed 20 turnovers down the stretch.
The defeat leaves India still searching for its first win of the qualifying campaign. While the result highlighted the gap between the two sides, India must regroup quickly, improve its offensive efficiency, and tighten its defense ahead of its next crucial qualifier.

Qatar Preview
Qatar fought hard but fell 86-80 to Saudi Arabia in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, narrowly missing the chance to claim a crucial home victory.
Alen Hadzibegovic led the scoring with 25 points and 8 rebounds, while Abdulrahman Mohamed Saad added 17 points and Donte Grantham added 14 points.
Offensively, Qatar shot well from the two point range (58.3%), but struggled with 30% from the perimeter compared to Saudi Arabia’s 54.6%. Their ball movement was also inefficient (12 assists) which resulted in stagnant plays. Defensively, they did record 7 steals, 5 blocks and forced the visitors to commit 20 turnovers, but failed to fully capitalize on it and lost the battle on the boards (32-27).
Despite the defeat, Qatar showed resilience and offensive firepower. However, tightening its perimeter defense and improving execution in crunch time will be essential as it looks to bounce back in its next qualifier.
Overall, the team averages 84.8 points per game, while dishing out 17.3 assists. Defensively, they record 36.3 rebounds, 9.8 steals and 4.5 blocks per game.
