Both Australia and Iran basketball teams are the powerhouse in FIBA Asian Qualifiers under Group F bracket. Australia has a good record with seven wins and one loss. They have gained around 15 points in their ranking while Iran followed second in position after they have dropped their hold in ranking after losing to Japan. There is no question that Australia has a high possibility to dominate inside the court when the two national basketball teams clash, knowing that Australia has a better shooting in the field goal with around 49% which is a bit lower than of Iran with having 42%.
But still, we just can't rely on those since there are so much big possibility and many possible things might happen inside the court. Comparing to their three-point shooting performance, still, Australia has the upper hand on that field of shooting and also with free-throw shooting percentage.
This can be a crucial time for Iran to win against Australia or they will have a high risk of falling from the second position to third position or even fourth position since both Philippines and Japan are highly competitive. In terms of speed and agility mostly we can see it from the Australian Team, they have better aggressiveness in terms of fast break points which can really be an effective way for a run and gun situation.
Iran has their edge in terms of defense since they are most likely to be dominant on both defensive and offensive rebounds and especially they are good on blocking shot attempts.
Australia on their previous match against Qatar and Kazakhstan, they manage to double their lead and finish the game. The record of Australia is a great challenge for Iran to be more focused on their game if they want to win.
Australia has a better percentage of winning against Iran based on their statistical records as well as their performance in their previous games. I think it would be around 70/30 chances on their upcoming match.
Their basketball match will happen in November 30 2018.
