U17 Women's Games: Saturday 2 July

ZARAGOZA (2016 FIBA U17 Women's World Championship) - Here are the four games to look forward to on the last day of the 2016 FIBA U17 Women's World Championship in Zaragoza, including the Final and Third Place game.

Watch all of the action live on FIBA's YouTube channel.

Follow the action live on the U17 Worlds live feed.

FINAL

Italy v Australia

It's something that this competition has never seen before - a title game that does not feature the USA and instead, two nations who had not even made the Semi-Finals before. In fact Italy had not even made the Last Eight. This is likely to be about whether Italy can control the tempo and utilise their frontcourt or whether the Sapphires can run their outstanding transition game.

3rd PLACE GAME

China v USA 

It's new territory for the USA who have never finished anywhere other than on the top step of the podium. Can they hit back after their crushing disappointment of losing in the Semi-Finals against the Sapphires? China have played in this fixture previously and it was a success, as they finished third at the inaugural edition of the event in France six years ago.

CLASSIFICATION 5-8

Canada v France

Both teams lost healthy leads in their fights to do battle for 5th place, with Canada looking to avoid three losses in a row, having opened up with three wins. A win for France will see them improve on an 8th-place finish from two years ago in Pilsen.

Spain v Czech Republic

The hosts will want to finish on a high and take 5th place as they face a Czech team who produced their best performance of the tournament last time out against France.
