Asia Cup Qualifying: India's men's and women's 3x3 basketball teams made a resounding start to their campaigns at the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup Qualifying round in Singapore, securing comfortable victories in their opening matches on Wednesday.

The men's team showcased their prowess with two consecutive wins, first overpowering Maldives with a commanding 21-10 victory. Pranav Prince led the charge with an outstanding performance, contributing eight points, while Sahaij Sekhon displayed clinical precision, clinching seven points. Despite a positive start from Maldives, scoring four two-pointers early on, Sekhon's swift movement and Prince's dominance turned the tide in India's favor.

In their second match, India continued their momentum, defeating Macau 21-13. The game remained closely contested until the halfway mark, with both teams exchanging one-pointers. However, Princepal Singh utilized his height and physicality to gain an advantage over the shorter Macau players, scoring eight crucial points. Sekhon's pivotal two-pointer further extended India's lead to 17-9, securing their back-to-back victory.
