    • Australia vs Chinese Taipei - 12:30 Local Time (18:30 GMT)

    Chinese Taipei are coming off a first-ever FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup win, but will face a tough Australia team whose only loss so far has come against USA.

    • Finland vs New Zealand - 13:00 Local Time (19:00 GMT)

    New Zealand have strung together two straight wins, while Finland just broke into the win column for the first time a global youth event. Bailey Flavell has been spectacular for New Zealand, but can she keep it going?

    • Puerto Rico vs Canada - 15:00 Local Time (21:00 GMT)

    Savannah Swords has been nothing short of stellar for Canada. For sure, she will be a key player as her nation plays against Puerto Rico with a ticket to the Quarter-Finals on the line.

    • Japan vs Mali - 15:30 Local Time (21:30 GMT)

    Japan were dealt a first loss by Spain and now they face a dangerous Mali side. Can they bounce back and make it to the next round, or will Mali rediscover their fine form?

    • USA vs Egypt - 17:30 Local Time (23:30 GMT)

    Everyone knows USA will be heavy favorites here, especially as they have scored more than 120 points twice already. As for Egypt, it'll take nothing short of a miracle to upend the mighty Americans.

    • Argentina v Italy - 18:00 Local Time (00:00 GMT on July 18)

    Argentina are hoping to slay a giant after being on the wrong side of history against Finland. Meanwhile, Italy are riding high after sweeping Group B and should be favorites to advance.

    • Croatia vs France - 20:00 Local Time (02:00 GMT on July 18)

    France are aiming to bounce back after a humbling loss to Canada and have a chance to do that here. However, Croatia have the tools to make this game close and very exciting.

    • Spain v Mexico - 20:30 Local Time (2:30 GMT on July 18)

    The home team has not been able to book a win yet and will be hard-pressed to do so against unbeaten Spain. The in-form Sara Okeke will stand in their way and she's definitely going to prove a tough opponent.
