On Saturday, Lebanon defeated Jordan, 80-40 in the final of the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup Division B 2021 Final in Amman. With Lebanon winning the match, they get promoted to Division A for 2023’s continental competition. Also, by getting promoted to Division A, the Lebanese team could play for a future Olympic berth in 2024, but the road will be difficult given that they will play other top Asian teams like Japan, the defending Olympic silver medalists, Australia, China and Korea.
Washington Mystics guard Natasha Cloud played 38 minutes for Jordan in the final but only scored 7 points on 3-of-13 shooting while also dishing 6 assists.
