    Lebanon’s Basketball Team topped the power ranking, being first among the 15 other teams, beating countries like Australia, Korea, Iran, New Zealand, Japan, and more!

    “The Cedars were heading into Asia Cup high on confidence from their World Cup Qualifiers win and that confidence has not dropped, especially after a historical double-digit win over New Zealand,” said FIBA.

    It is worth noting that Lebanon won over its Philippines counterpart, scoring 95-80.
