On February 21, at the arena of the Republican cycle track “Saryarka”, the men's national team of Kazakhstan will host the leaders of the Asian qualification for the 2019 World Basketball Championship - the national team of Australia.

Qualifying for the World Cup: The Australian team is an extremely serious contender: the Australians have already proved at the Asian World Cup qualification in 2019 that they are set to win only, winning five matches out of six in the first round, accidentally losing one point in Japan. In the second round, the Australian team already once upset the Kazakhstan national team, defeated the Qatar national team twice and dealt with Iran without any problems.

Thus, the Australians are the undisputed favorites of Group F, and by the way they have already secured access to the final part of the World Cup, which may weaken their grip, but in any case the match with Australia promises to be difficult.
