Al Karkh defeated Al Shurtah at home 84-80. Al Shurtah will play next round against Nift Al-Shamal trying to get back on the winning streak. Al Karkh will try to continue on its current victory against Al Hilla at home.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Al Kahraba in Kirku. Visitors were defeated by Ghaz Al-Shamal 93-82.

Quite upsetting was Al Hilla's home defeat in a game versus Al-Difaa who edged hosts 64-62. Al Hilla was very close to get their first win. But it seems they have to wait a little bit longer. Al-Difaa will meet Ghaz Al-Shamal in the next round. Al Hilla will play against Al Karkh and hope to win that game.
