FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Features Australia, Lebanon, Philippines, New Zealand Matches

News summary

The FIBA Asia Cup 2025 is currently underway with notable matchups including the Australian Boomers facing Lebanon in Group A and the Philippines battling New Zealand in Group D. Australia leads Group A after a dominant win over South Korea, with a rematch against Lebanon, the 2022 finalists, scheduled for August 9. Meanwhile, the Philippines are seeking their first win after a loss to Chinese Taipei, facing a strong New Zealand team that secured bronze in 2022 and is favored to top their group. Despite recent losses, Gilas Pilipinas coach Tim Cone remains hopeful for a rebound against New Zealand, although expert analysis predicts a likely defeat given the Philippines' poor opener and New Zealand's depth and recent form. The tournament games are being held at King Abdullah Sports City, Saudi Arabia, and are available for viewing on ESPN/Kayo Sports and Courtside 1891. In unrelated sports news, New Zealand is also participating in an ICC Test Championship cricket match against Zimbabwe, highlighting their active presence in international sports in 2025.
