Today at 7:30 PM local time, Al Ahli's youth team will host Al Sharjah in a top-of-the-table match to open the 14th and final round of the basketball league's preliminary stage. The winner of this match will determine the league leader, as both teams enter tied for first place with 24 points each. Simultaneously, Al Bataih, sitting fourth in the standings with 22 points, will face host Al Wahda, who is last with 13 points. Al Ahli is looking to avenge their away loss to Al Sharjah in November, which ended 106-110. Meanwhile, 'The King' is seeking to make up for their defeat in the previous round to Al Nasr (66-87). In the second match, Al Bataih is aiming for their 10th win in the league and to solidify their claim for another season in the final four. Their prospects look strong given the significant technical gap between them and Al Wahda, especially after their dominant 102-50 victory in the first leg. The round will conclude tomorrow with Al Wasl, fifth with 18 points, hosting Al Dhafra, seventh with 15 points. This will be followed by Al Nasr, third with 23 points, hosting Al Jazira, sixth with 16 points.
