Jordan vs New Zealand FIBA Asia Cup Third Place match will be held on July 24. It’s feeling a bit like déjà vu as Australia and New Zealand find themselves in the semi-finals of the FIBA Asia Cup once again. The two teams first met at the 2017 tournament, where they made it to this stage, which was eventually won by the Boomers. While this may not have been anywhere near the Asia Cup, these two teams do have quite a history that promises to provide some entertaining semi-finals action.
It may come as a surprise to some but there’s much more to the Australian Boomers than their FIBA Asia Cup success! While it may seem that this team has pretty much been cruising through their games and not dropping a single game against Lebanon, Korea, or China, we can’t forget about the hard work it took for them to get to where they are today in the first place! With players like NBA star Matthew Dellavedova and former Chicago Bull David Andersen on board, playing as part of this well-rounded roster is surely going to be a huge challenge for all the teams that are yet to face Australia.

Although the Tall Blacks might be returning to join their second straight Asia Cup Semi-Finals, it actually feels a bit different this time around. This is a younger squad with a new head coach who are eager to prove themselves again in this tournament. They’ve already suffered a loss against Lebanon during their current run and they also struggled during a tough match against Korea before reaching the semi-finals, which is quite a lot for any team to endure.
