Team China beat Team Bahrain 80-67 on Monday to wrap up their campaign in the fourth window of the FIBA World Cup Asian qualifiers with two wins, after they took a victory from hosts Kazakhstan 68-56 last Thursday.

The Chinese squad will face Team Iran in the fifth window on November 11.

China established the leading edge against Bahrain with a 25-11 run in the first quarter. Bahrain took a 9-0 sprint in the second quarter to cut the deficit to five points on 31-26 before Chinese players scored nine points straight to resume the lead on 42-33 at the break.

China expanded the advantage to 16 points before entering the final quarter, followed by three 3-pointers from Team Bahrain who managed to keep the gap under 10 points. China's Zhou Qi, who bagged a team-high 22 points, made two free throws and a crucial layup in the final minute to help China seal the victory.
