Qatar is ranked 29th in the FIBA rankings, having dropped a rank. India is 50 having climbed up two spots. On average, Qatar’s team is a year older and an inch taller than Indian team.
These stats matter little when the ball is thrown up. Being good on paper and bringing it every game are two different things. The tip off is at 7:15 China time ( + 8 GMT ), that makes it 4:45 in India. Indian team had beaten Afghanistan yesterday, but the entire roster was not used. So there will be a lot of fresh legs to pick up the slack if fatigue creeps in for the starters.
