Australia face Spain in the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup quarter-finals in Berlin on Thursday. The Opals scraped past Italy 82–80 to reach the last eight, but they are dealing with key injuries, including Alanna Smith and Ezi Magbegor. Spain topped their group and will be a major test, with Australia needing a much stronger defensive performance to keep their World Cup medal hopes alive.
You can watch the game live on ESPN or Kayo.
