The Philippine basketball team is a bit disadvantage in terms of tallying final standing at the end of FIBA Asian Qualifiers this year compared to Japan. The Philippines will possibly win against Kazakhstan based on their team performances during their previous games but has a high chance of losing against Iran. On the previous encounter between Iran and the Philippines, Iran has a better grip on holding the control of the game where they keep the rhythm of their plays until the timers buzz off. The Philippines having a hard time catching up from the start of the 2nd quarter until the very last quarter.

But still a slight winning chance for the Philippines since the Philippine players really did learn on their previous game and there had been also a reconstruction of the rosters. So we will be seeing a different Philippine team during their match against Iran on December 3. While for Japan they will be having an easy win against Qatar and Kazakhstan since they have managed to win against Iran during their encounter which is harder to face opponents due to their basketball experiences compare to Qatar and Kazakhstan.

If Japan manages to win their match against Qatar and Kazakhstan while the Philippines will be lost to Iran then both the Philippines and Japan will have a tie standing of six wins and 4 loses. Even though there is still remaining two set of games for 2019 before deciding the top 7 teams that would move forward to FIBA World. The Philippines should take focus on their matches against Kazakhstan and Iran.

If the Philippines will fall short in Group F and will finish in 4th position then possibly they will encounter Jordan in the wildcard position. Both teams already played in tuneup games and I know that each of their players already knows the capacity each of them in hard court. But still, I'm hoping that we will not be seeing the Philippines in the wildcard for easy access to FIBA World.
