KAUNAS (FIBA U16 Women's European Championship 2018) - We're down to the final four teams in the race for the top step of the podium at the FIBA U16 Women's European Championship.

Friday's first Semi-Final serves up a rematch of a thriller from the Group Phase, with Czech Republic hoping to repeat their victory over Turkey and, ideally, with a little less drama this time.

The first encounter saw Turkey holding a 14-point lead at half-time, but the Czech defense shut Turkey down for more than six minutes to come back into the game before Derin Erdogan's clutch three-pointer forced overtime.

Petra Malikova ended up as Czech Republic's hero, scoring 22 points and adding 9 rebounds for an efficiency of 29, and providing her only assist of the game to set up Simona Fiserova for the game-winner.

Turkey bounced back from that defeat and a further loss to France to impressively beat Latvia and then Russia in a dominant Quarter-Final performance, while the Czechs labored in defeating Hungary, owing a debt of gratitude to Katerina Zeithammerova's dramatic game-winner.

The second Semi-Final promises to be a classic, with Italy and Spain both looking very strong throughout the tournament. Spain's five wins have all been by more than 30, while Italy could boast similar until their thrilling Quarter-Final against France, which ended 61-59.

Spain have pressured weaker teams into mistakes, forcing an incredible 27 steals per game thus far, but Italy have forced the second-most steals in the competition and they have a strong rotation of guards who will not be flustered, especially after the experience of the match with France.
