The match

One of the underdogs for this World Cup Basketball campaign, Australia start their Group H campaign with a game against Canada. The Canadians are ranked 23rd in the World. They are in the World Cup group stage for the first time since 2010. Interestingly, their last appearance ended in disappointment with a 22nd place finish. The Canadian teams of the old enjoyed the grand stage and in 1982, they finished sixth. Having said that, with a string of successful NBA players in their roster, this Canada outfit can spring a surprise or two. In fact, they met Australia in two warm-ups before the tournament, winning the first. That loss for Australia was largely due to the absence of regular players. The Aussies are ranked 11th in the World rankings and are expected to be one of the surprise packages of the tournament. They would look to start their campaign with a win, but injury worries threaten to derail their tournament. Their international record is very healthy, with the Australians reaching the last-four stage at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Besides, they also made it to the last-16 stage at the 2014 World Cup and have also won the Asian Cup two years ago.

Key Statistics

  • Australia have defeated USA in one of their warmups, becoming the first team since 2006 to do so.
  • Canada have 4-3 record from the warmups.
  • Canada and Australia split the two exhibition matches played before the start of this tournament.

The bet of our experts

All eyes will be on Australia to see how they start the tournament. It hasn’t been an ideal preparation for the Boomers leading into the World Cup. A first-ever win over USA notwithstanding, question marks over the fitness of Andrew Bogut mean the Aussies have a lot to improve. Canada will welcome back Cory Joseph, although his absence so far threatens their chances.
