China will challenge the United States, three-time defending champions, on Saturday in Sydney in the final of the Women’s World Cup.
The Chinese won a magnificent and suspenseful showdown in an atmosphere of madness against Australia on Friday in the semi-finals (61-59).
For their first world final since 1994, the Chinese will have the support of the Superdome, half of which, the significant Chinese diaspora living in Australia, exploded on Friday after Ezi Magbegor missed the buzzer the equalizer which would have extended a half- crazy finale. They held up well against Team USA during the group stage, only losing 77-63.
The health walk continued Friday for the American favorites, who made short work of their Canadian neighbors (83-43) in the first semi-final. This is the largest point spread ever recorded at this stage of the competition in a World Cup.
