Teams Preview

Iraq

Iraq’s 78-70 defeat to Syria in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers was a game they let slip away after a competitive start.

Ihab Al-Zuhairi led the charge with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Murad Zewki also contributed a double-double, 10 points and 12 rebounds. Ali Alaa Hussein Al-Musawi added 14 points, Farid Radi Mahdi Barushki (13 points) and Zinar Hishyar Selman Alyousif (10 points), but their efforts weren't enough.

Offensively, Iraq just shot 35% from the field and struggled with 23.5% from the three point line, despite sharing the ball efficiently (16 assists). Defensively, they controlled the boards (53-40) and recorded 7 blocks, but failed to capitalize on it. Their 17 turnovers also proved costly down the stretch. 

The positive for Iraq is that they remain competitive through rebounding and ball movement. However, consistency in the half court offense and perimeter shooting remains a key concern.

Overall, the team averages 69.7 points per game, while dishing out 16.7 assists. Defensively, they record 38.3 rebounds, 5.7 steals and 3.3 blocks per game.
