2023 FIBA World Cup. The game will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and will begin at 8:30 p.m. Philippines/Hong Kong time. It has been a mixed bag for Italy so far as they won their first game against Angola but lost to the Dominican Republic in the second game. But host Phillippines have lost both of their games in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
As this game is crucial for both of the teams, it is expected to be a close fight. The Philippines will have the support of its fans, but they will be under pressure to win the game at any cost. They have the opportunity to salvage their prestige.
With 17 points, five rebounds, and four assists, Marco Spisu was the star of Italy in their game against the Dominican Republic, though they lost the match with five points. Utah Jazz's Simone Fontecchio helped the team with 13 points, three rebounds, and two assists, while Glamaolo Ricci chipped in with 12 points.
With 21 points, seven assists, and three rebounds, Jordan Clarkson was the only player to reach the double-digit for the Philippines in their game against Angola. The team's defensive stopper AJ Edu had nine points and six assists. Kai Sotto finished with eight points and six boards.
