Teams Preview
Australia
Australia Women currently hold a 4-0 record in the tournament and look to end it on a high and unbeaten in the group. In all the four matches that they played, Australia managed to score past 70 points and restricted their opponents to under 68 points on two occasions.
Australia has a more balanced and efficient offense, averaging 80 points per game while shooting an impressive 52.4% from 2-point range. Their ball movement is a major highlight, resulting in 20.8 assists per game.
Defensively, they are opportunistic, using 9.8 steals to spark a transition game that averages nearly 15 fast break points. With a deep roster contributing over 31 bench points and Ezi Magbegor leading in efficiency, the Opals have proven to be a dominant, well-rounded force.
Canada
Canada Women's qualification hangs in the balance as they currently hold a 2-2 record. The four point loss against Japan and a narrow two point loss against Turkey has put them in a really tricky spot ahead of this round 5 clash.
Canada are a more physical, high-rebounding team and are the tournament’s glass-eaters, averaging a massive 49.3 rebounds per game, including 18.8 on the offensive end. While their outside shooting has been cold at 24.7%, they remain a threat in the paint, scoring 32 points inside nightly.
They are reliable at the charity stripe, hitting 77.6% of their free throws. Led by the efficiency of Aaliyah Edwards, the Canadians use their size to control the tempo, though they rely less on bench depth compared to their top-tier opponents.
