FIBA Basketball World Cup: With two losses in two matches, the Indian men's basketball team will hope to revive their campaign in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers when it takes on Qatar and Kazakhstan in the two home matches at the Nehru Indoor Stadium here in the second international window on November 22 and 25.

Placed in Group E with Iran as the other team in the four-team group, India will take on Qatar on Friday and will meet Kazakhstan on Monday.

India, 76th in the FIBA world rankings, lost their opening matches in February against Kazakhstan (63-50) and Iran (83-56) and are currently fourth in the group. They will have to win both the matches in this leg and the remaining two games in the third leg in February 2025 to maintain their chances of qualifying for the next stage.
