Australia dominated Turkey 87-71 on Sunday in the 2026 World Cup group phase, while Belgium surpassed Puerto Rico 76-64. These two victories propel them to the top of Group C, but only a single match separates them from direct qualification to the quarter-finals. The duel between Australia and Belgium on Monday will determine who wins the group and benefits from a simplified path.
