Who Will Win the Basketball World Cup?

Let’s talk about the King of Basketball tournaments…

This year’s Basketball World Cup began last week and not with the usual 24 teams but with 32 teams this time around.

Though games just started, the tournament is taking shape in earnest. It’s no news that the results of this competition will determine who goes to play at the Olympics.

So, at the end of it all, it comes down to; who will win the Basketball World Cup?

Although it is quite too early to start making definite predictions of who the winner will be, some teams have kickstarted the tournament with a winning streak.

Let’s take a look at teams that have straight wins lined up already:

Poland and Argentina

Poland and Argentina started in different groups but came under the same group in the second round.

Both teams have not lost a game in this tournament. They have won four games out of the four games they have played in the competition.

Argentina sits first on the table with 67 game points difference while Poland sits second with 36 points.

Anyways, both teams are set to play at the quarter-finals.

France and Australia

Both France and Australia will be playing at the quarterfinals. They have performed wonderfully this season.

After topping their groups in round 1, they were placed in the same group in the second round. Both teams have 8 points and have not lost any game in this tournament.

France, however, sits no 1 with a game point difference of 80. Australia follows behind with 40.

With a winning streak of four games, their move to the quarterfinals is well deserved.

Other teams to watch out for

The story is almost the same with every team that sat on the first spot on their group’s table in the first round.

If you are looking for teams that are a sure thing this season (from the performance we have seen so far), watch out for Serbia, Spain, United States, and Czech Republic

None of them have lost a game in this tournament. Though not all of them have advanced to the quarterfinals, these teams have performed brilliantly, and we should be expecting to see them at the quarterfinal games.

It is not surprising seeing these teams crushing it. Most of the teams have high ranking spots in the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) World Ranking.

It’s been a great start for these teams in this year’s tournament and hopefully, they are able to keep it that way.
