TEHRAN – Iran narrowly lost to India 67-66 in the final match of the FIBA U16 Women's Asia Cup 2025 Division B on Friday at the Karisma Arena in Seremban, Malaysia.

Viha Jonnalagadda top-scored for Team India with 21 points and 10 rebounds, which she laced with 3 blocks. Subramanian finished with 19 points behind a 7-of-15 shooting from the field, including two triples.

Mobina Bereihi tried to will the young Team Melli back in the game following a booming trifecta from the corner with exactly seven seconds to spare, but time was no longer enough to complete the comeback.

Hasti Khazaei and Elina Kazemevini added 10 points each for the team from West Asia, who fell to the same team that beat them in the first day of competitions last Saturday. They finished the tilt with a 4-2 card.

The young Team Melli instead settled for a runner-up finish for the second time in a row, having done as much during the 2023 Division B competitions in Jordan as well after bowing to the Philippines via rout.

Earlier in the day, Indonesia defeated Hong Kong 5-1-30 in the bronze medal match.
