Australia vs Indonesia FIBA Asia Cup match will be held on July 16. The pressure to represent Indonesia at the FIBA Asia Cup in 2022 on home grounds is acknowledged by Arki Wisnu. In addition to trying to win as many games as they can in front of their loyal supporters, Timnas have one specific objective to complete in order to compete in the FIBA Basketball World Cup in 2023. They are one of the global competition’s hosts, along with the Philippines and Japan, but they must advance to the Asia Cup quarterfinals in order to be assured of a position in the World Cup. But as the adage goes, pressure produces diamonds. In Jakarta, Timnas is utilizing every bit of that pressure to support their campaign.
In their Asia Cup debut on Tuesday night, Indonesia did demonstrate how hungry they are by crushing longtime rivals Saudi Arabia, 80-54. Marques Bolden, who made his Asia Cup debut and finished with 32 points and 16 rebounds, was a major factor in the resounding victory. Bolden missed their earlier matchup with Saudi Arabia but was active from the start. Istora Senayan’s boisterous audience, who cheered the loudest the entire game, provided the team with a significant lift as well.

There is pressure, he acknowledged, but he added, “But we look forward to that pressure and challenge and to play to the best of our skills to represent our nation.”
