Basketball Olympics Qualifiers: India beat Indonesia 90-74 to continue winning streak — Highlights

Scoring progression

2 minutes remain in the first half. India have found a new hero today - Arvind Kumar Muthu Krishnan! It's the unlikely hero from Tamil Nadu who is stinging Indonesia.

16' - IND 40-28 INA, Bhriguvanshi leads from front

Like yesterday, India are on the back foot in Q2. Endurance a factor surely. Bhriguvanshi leads an attack, is in the thick of it, but rests for a second after the attack fails. Signs of tiredness?

A few seconds later, Bhriguvanshi comes up with a captain's effort. He takes India's lead to double digits with a 2-pointer.

13' - Indonesia come out blazing in Q2

Indonesia come out fired up in Q2. Back-to-back 3 points brings the lead down to just 6 points. India's lead looked comfortable at the end of Q1, but suddenly they look under threat again.

IND 32-26 INA

End of Q1: India lead 25-16

A 9-point gap opens up as we head into the 2nd quarter.

India's pace burns Indonesia, IND 23-16 INA after 9 minutes

Annadurai and Hafeez the most productive players for India so far. Indonesia committing a lot of turnovers, thus giving India's speedy forwards lot of chances. That should see Pranav Prince getting into the game more and more.

Pranav takes charge! IND 17-9 INA after 7 minutes

Some big points being scored on either side, India edging ahead on number of steals at the moment. The smaller but more agile Indian team - now led by the high-flying Pranav Prince in attack again - are scoring numerous points in transition!

IND 17-9 INA

India take lead, IND 10-6 INA after 4 minutes

And the game turns on its head! Some swift attacks from India. Hafeez gets a series of points as India get into the lead! 

No hostile atmosphere like yesterday today.

Indonesia take early lead, IND 0-4 INA after 1 minute

A 3-pointer to get us underway from Indonesia. And one point comes after an Indian foul. Indonesia's physicality looks to be a challenge for the more lithe Indians. 

Vishesh Bhriguivanshi steams forward, but fails to score. 

Ready for match

The anthems ring out in Damascus. 

It's a match between the underdogs today. Kazakhstan remain the toughest team in this zone. But 2 wins in 2 would put India in an unprecedented position.

Team seedings

Kazakhstan (65th) are the best-ranked team in the tournament, followed by Saudi Arabia (68), Syria (72), India (82) and Bahrain (84).

If India manage to make it to the next round, it will be a historic achievement in its own right. The Indian men's basketball has appeared in the Olympics once, finishing 12th at the Moscow 1980 Games.
