The Qatari team finished the first half with a 13-8 lead, before extending the lead in the second half and winning by six goals after a strong performance.

Qatar are the first to qualify for the semi-finals, topping Group B with four points, after defeating Tunisia 31-30 and Saudi Arabia 31-22.

The team will meet the winner of the second semi-final, which will be played later Friday between Kuwait and Bahrain.

In the competition to determine 5th to 9th place, the Tunisian national team defeated Morocco 35-32, and the Saudi national team defeated Iraq 25-20.
