The 114–43 loss to Kazakhstan will put Maldives under significant pressure in their next game. Kazakhstan exposed major problems with Maldives’ defense, shooting and ability to handle sustained pressure. Maldives will need a much stronger defensive effort, better ball movement and greater offensive contribution from Ahmed Zabeer to bounce back.

Their ability to withstand Kazakhstan’s comeback is a major positive, while Brian Halums’ scoring provides confidence heading into the final group game.
