Australia will take on Saudi Arabia in FIBA Asia Cup on July 14. The triumph is their highest home victory in the Asia Cup. In addition, Indonesia is seeking retribution after losing to Saudi Arabia at the same location a little over ten days earlier in the Asian Qualifiers for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. Marques Bolden made a stunning start at the Asia Cup, scoring 32 points, grabbing 16 rebounds, and blocking 6 shots for an Efficiency rating of 48. With Abraham Damar Grahita (13 points), Brandon Jawato (10 points), and Andakara Prastawa Dhyaksa, Indonesia also saw three players reach double figures (10 points). In this game, Prastawa also recorded 9 assists and 3 steals. In the most recent game between the two teams, Saudi Arabia was out of sync; Mohammed Almarwani was the only player to score in double figures with 15 points. The game’s beginning, when Marques Bolden got right to work, served as the game’s turning point.

With the help of some monster dunks and monster blocks, he scored the opening eight points for Indonesia, which went unanswered. As a result of how the game began, both the Indonesian national team and the home audience were energized, making it challenging for Saudi Arabia to effectively attempt a comeback. It would be difficult to argue that anybody other than Marques Bolden was Indonesia’s game-winning player. Bolden was inconsistent in all areas, whether it was his offensive dominance (14-19 field goal shooting) or his defensive play. Shooting only 29.2 percent in this game wasn’t fantastic, but it wasn’t the game’s most important statistic either because Saudi Arabia didn’t exactly shoot well (35.1 percent) in their most recent victory over Indonesia. It was more probable the fact that Saudi Arabia was outrebounded by Indonesia 45-34 in this game as opposed to being outrebounded 47-55 the previous time.
