Puerto Rico:
The Carribean team beat Iran 83-81 in a closely fought game-1 to open their account with a win at the World Cup.
While the next game was against the mighty Spanish team. The result went right towards the way it was expected to traverse before the start of the match.

Tunisia:
Tunisia infused life into their campaign with a much-needed 79-67 win over Iran in the last game. With 3 points, they are level on points with Puerto Rico heading into the next game.
