00:11on TNT sports Australia and Spain they've been here before but who gets the job done today
00:20the winner faces the United States on Saturday at Berlin Arena in Berlin Germany
00:26Isabel Borlase she was outstanding against Italy in the quarterfinal qualifier a big part of
00:32Australia's win was their production off the bench Isabel Borlase a huge part of that setting a 2026
00:39women's world cup high of 30 points look at how efficient she was and aggressive she got to the
00:46line as well Borlase 21 years old Iana Martin just 20 years old she has not looked like it played
00:54with
00:54a maturity and a composure beyond her years she comes into this event at this point fifth leading
01:00score and it's been across the board she's attacking the basket she's knocking down from three at a high
01:05level of efficiency we got a good battle here today we take a look at our starting lineup it's a
01:10brand
01:10new look for Australia if you heard from Allie LaForce in the pregame three key members absent
01:16Alanna Smith ruled out after one game played in group phase competition Jade Melbourne with the
01:22blue is out and devastating news for Ezzie McBagor the team captain a torn ACL her season is done with
01:31the Seattle storm and with the Opals in the FIBA World Cup but Australia is foreign all time against Spain
01:40in the FIBA World Cup they won gold back in 2006 bronze in 2022 under Sandy Brondello when they hosted
01:52in
01:52Sydney Australia as for Spain this redemption tour continues they missed the 2022 World Cup they did not
02:01qualify we're off and running in our fourth and final quarterfinal here on true TV
02:10there's Sandy Brondello has been coaching the Opals in the World Cup for three consecutive years
02:15this Opals team also playing without Alanna Smith a huge component there is a lot of areas to be shored
02:22up but
02:23that's why we play Australia's got a ton of experience coming into this one in the foundation that this program
02:31has laid
02:32Stephanie Reed from distance to get us going
02:40Alifam with a touch on the block barreling inside absorbed some contact couldn't flip it home DeLeo there to assist
02:48kick out Martina three
02:50picks up where she left off against Japan on Monday locked and loaded and she's just had an extraordinary level
02:57of efficiency there
02:58and this is a team in Spain that beat the German team we just saw with an incredible win to
03:04advance by 30 points in first game of group play
03:07they've been a little inconsistent with how they've come out but they have got the talent and the pieces to
03:13make major impacts
03:15Maria Conde kicks it back up to Martine averaging 17 points per game in this World Cup
03:22the 20-year-old called for the ball nothing there Fombs hits the screen Taz Orla misses the layup
03:30Australia on the run Talbot kicks it Reed again she owns the wings a three on each side
03:38what a way to get things started setting the tone the numbers for Reed have not jumped out early on
03:44but these opportunities in these moments when you're missing and down key players is
03:49where others have an opportunity to shine next player up to Leo banks at home 6-5 Australia still leads
04:01all Sandy Brondello could do was shrug her shoulders and she even said the injury bug from her Toronto tempo
04:08in the WNBA is carried to Berlin without key players
04:12outstanding defense by the veteran Alex Wilson
04:17and there's contact by Spain a foul is called
04:22Conde is the guilty party
04:25look right there Stephanie Reed stepping into that shot not played a ton of minutes not scored a lot of
04:32points or had opportunities but she's been ready for it based on how the defense is playing she's got some
04:37room
04:41reaches seven points over the first four games for Australia loose ball gobbled up by DeLeo Conde leads our farm
04:50to the rack
04:51Spain in front
04:52and Brendan the areas you always look to especially when you've got new pieces and new players in different roles
05:00is making sure ball protection is at a high
05:02don't want to give easier look to this team from Spain that can get out and run
05:07Talbot fires rather that's rea Wilson existed on the three recycled by read there's Talbot
05:17had a notion passes it up
05:21Wilson read again
05:23oh
05:24oh
05:24rattles out
05:26about everything before popping back out
05:30Martin scans the landscape sidestep to the right drills it second three for Martin
05:37how impressive fun to watch through the course of this tournament there was the anticipation of it
05:43taking number seven overall by Portland in the WNBA draft she did not play though with the fire this year
05:54what she's expected to do set to do and shown throughout the course of this World Cup Tournament gives a
06:01lot of optimism
06:03for the type of player she can continue to grow into just 20 years old as we have mentioned
06:08love the spunk love the energy was a key cog in the silver medal for Spain at the FIBA Euro
06:15Basket Tournament last year
06:18as the seas parted misses the layup and Australia turns it over
06:22they commit 17 a game fourth most in this World Cup
06:27and Martin
06:29was awarded EuroLeague Young Player of the Year in 2025
06:33was a U-19 World Cup MVP in 2023
06:40so despite being young she's got experience she's got experience playing professionally
06:46and you can tell her in her movements and her feel of the game
06:53Konday mid-range jumper off the heel
06:58Talbot's the leading scorer now active for Australia
07:0014.5 points per game
07:04Magma Gore gave her about 12 a game
07:06and that number slightly skewed the other way because of the limited minutes
07:11getting hurt in the first quarter it's a torn ACL for Magma Gore
07:15great report from Ally LaForce
07:18that as he's doing all she can to contribute to the scout in huddles
07:22assisting Sandy Brandello as the first time captain
07:25and you just feel for her individually as well
07:28how about Stephanie Reed
07:33three triples
07:35in the first four and a half minutes
07:40Fahm is fed
07:43back out
07:44Konday
07:45to the left
07:50bat it out
07:52new 14 for Spain
07:57DeLeo wants a paint touch
07:58hook with the left it goes
08:05Megan DeLeo is a player that Spain will feature in feed different areas on the floor
08:11but in particular loves that left block
08:15the qualifiers back in March
08:16DeLeo was the leading scorer for Spain
08:19meanwhile Talbot plays it in
08:21midway point of the first one-point game
08:23in this final quarterfinal of this Thursday
08:27the winner faces the United States on Saturday
08:41see a look right here
08:42is Fahm
08:43working on the inside
08:47Fowler's doing everything she can
08:49try and make it tough
08:51that's where our Fahm
08:53continues to grow through the course
08:54of her young career
08:56and even just her time
08:57in this tournament
08:59she's got a slash ability
09:00she can get downhill
09:03knock down three-point shots
09:04with her spacing
09:05but her with her back to the basket
09:07with the length and quickness
09:08she presents with her footwork
09:09is something that Spain
09:10has often went to
09:17Raquel Carrera 14 has checked in for Spain
09:20Martine
09:21oh nifty separation
09:24third three for Martine already
09:27tough
09:27quick with the set
09:29she is so
09:30got so much pop
09:31that had a first quarter
09:33Stephanie Reed
09:34again only had seven points
09:36in the first four games
09:38she has 11 in this first quarter
09:40part of it too
09:41she averaged under
09:4210 minutes per game
09:44it wasn't even about a lot of time
09:47and
09:48the 30 year old
09:49taking advantage of this opportunity
09:52Borlase was the hero
09:53the other day
09:55followed as she glided
09:57to the basket
09:59so important
10:00in that win against Italy
10:03that was the quarterfinal qualifier
10:05the reason why Australia
10:07had to play in that game
10:08is because they lost to Belgium
10:10in their final group stage game
10:13and Borlase is a player
10:14as you watch her
10:15she just keeps coming at you
10:17she's 5'10
10:18she's got a strong frame
10:20a physicality to how
10:21she creates driving angles
10:23but she is relentless
10:24in attacking you
10:26and attacking the front of the rim
10:28unrivaled basketball is back
10:30the fast-paced
10:31action-packed

10:49press break by Spain
10:52Reid is digging in defensively
10:54against Alethea Flores
10:58Carreras passed
10:59out of the way
10:59and Flores makes her impact early
11:02good feel there by Flores
11:04who
11:05mentioned a lot about her
11:06I think when you look at Spain
11:08and in contrast to where Australia's at
11:10especially with the energies
11:12they've got a ton of depth
11:13so their ability to run
11:15different players
11:15lineups
11:16and those that will impact
11:19on the perimeter
11:20on the inside
11:21is really a huge benefit
11:23to how they're gonna have to play
11:24Bibby missed the equalizer
11:28Spain works it
11:30on the perimeter

11:41high-low execution
11:42beautiful passing
11:44Spain's getting a rhythm here now
11:45Australia jumped out early
11:47behind the hot shooting
11:49of Reid
11:49but now you're seeing
11:51some of the passing
11:52and the ball movement
11:53that Spain
11:54so good at

12:50a lot of the ball
12:51screens
12:51especially those
12:52on the wing
12:54for Spain
12:55they can put you
12:56in trouble
12:57you need to
12:57force
12:58are forced
12:58to make a lot
12:59of decisions
12:59because of the
13:00three-point shooters
13:01that they have
13:02but they also
13:02do such a nice job
13:03on their attack

14:53but that's a
14:53beautiful job
14:54by Floreth
14:56driving and
14:57penetrating enough
14:57to suck in the

15:09who's made
15:10an instant impact
15:11from stepping
15:12on the floor
15:17there's a whistle
15:18before the block
15:19shot
15:20bid by Alifant
15:26the pick
15:26the finish
15:29for Spain
15:30that's a part
15:31of how they play
15:32it's been a
15:32vulnerability of
15:33Australia
15:35and this is where
15:37leads can open up
15:39fairly quickly
15:40and if you're
15:41Australia
15:42given your lack
15:43of depth
15:43you've got to be
15:45very conscious
15:46of that
15:47I'm sure
15:48Sandy Brondello
15:48and company
15:49knew coming in
15:50that Borlase
15:50would be a lot
15:51of attention
15:52garnered towards
15:53her after her
15:5430-point outburst
15:55off the bench
15:57it was a grab
15:58of the wrist
15:59of Carrera
16:00the 30 points
16:01by Isabel Borlase
16:03the most
16:03by a player
16:05off the bench
16:06at the FIBA
16:07World Cup
16:08and it's the most
16:09points scored
16:10in a game
16:10to date
16:11that's
16:12that's impressive
16:14Mieseman was close
16:15in our last game
16:16but didn't get there
16:23already six turnovers
16:25for Australia
16:27digging in on defense
16:28final minute
16:28first quarter
16:32Ortiz
16:32the handle
16:33into the teeth
16:34of the defense
16:35followed as she
16:36flared it up top
16:41that's where
16:42the multiple attacks
16:43for Spain
16:44have come into play
16:45and Ortiz
16:46was a great take
16:47there
16:48but you see
16:48everyone is fanned
16:49out around the
16:50three-point line
16:51and because Spain
16:52has been so effective
16:54shooting from three
16:55you got to stay
16:57attached
16:57you got to make
16:58sure you're
16:58respecting that
16:59and because of it
17:00it opens up
17:01some lanes
17:02and Spain
17:03is really good
17:05trying to touch
17:06the ball
17:07be aggressive
17:07and protecting

18:52of this
18:52game
18:53it's huge
18:53the lack
18:55of turnovers
18:56is huge
18:56and also
18:56the bench

21:19the message right
21:20Australia's gonna
21:21fight till the end
21:22no question
21:22and I think for
21:23all these teams
21:24you understand
21:25the magnitude
21:26of the stage
21:26the opportunity
21:27to be here
21:28for an Australia
21:30team dropping
21:30back into a zone
21:31off that possession
21:32there will be some
21:33pockets and opportunities
21:34for Spain to continue
21:36to read and find
21:37where they can exploit
21:38them with some
21:40of that lack of depth
21:40that was Paula
21:42that was Paula
21:42Ginzo
21:42who hit the jump
21:43shot
21:44making a ten
21:45point game
21:48inevitably there will
21:49be runs too
21:50if we see that
21:50for both these teams
21:52that are really
21:52proficient at shooting
21:54three-point shot
21:57nice little
21:59catch and shoot
22:00play there
22:01for Ginzo
22:01and overall
22:02for Spain

22:11Borlase

22:15crossovers
22:16drives it
22:18could not
22:19put it in
22:21elite defense
22:22by Spain
22:23out of the timeout
22:24I think a nice
22:26shot by Ginzo
22:26getting an opportunity
22:27a few more minutes
22:28than what we've seen
22:30through the stretch
22:31of this tournament

23:24that's the beauty
23:25and the fun part
23:26of watching these
23:27players
23:27in different
23:28circumstances

29:57four
29:59as they did
30:00in 2018
30:01and 2014
30:02Bibby from
30:03way deep
30:05Australia
30:06didn't have
30:07great three-point
30:08numbers
30:09over their
30:09four games
30:10leading into
30:11today
30:12they're 6 of
30:1312
30:14told Sandy
30:15Bundell
30:16we're going to
30:16hit Smithy
30:16and center
30:17our threes
30:17in the first half
30:18we'd be in
30:18this game
30:18down 18
30:20and you'd
30:20feel great
30:21about that
30:21to your point
30:22a big part
30:23of that
30:23so as they
30:24shot
30:24around 26%
30:26so far
30:27in their three-point
30:28shooting from the
30:28tournament
30:28they were producing
30:30in the paint
30:30about 44 points
30:32in the paint
30:32so now with some
30:33of the injuries
30:34it was very early
30:35on to
30:36Atlanta Smith
30:37but also
30:38so as the
30:39those things
30:40that take away
30:41a lot of your
30:42scoring punch
30:43and what you
30:44could do
30:44defensively
30:45and for Australia
30:47some of what
30:48they feel
30:49on offense
30:49comes from
30:50those stops
30:52defensively
30:53Bibby is
30:55followed by
30:55Kaz Orla
31:03Chloe Bibby
31:04has been a sniper
31:05in the tournament
31:07thus far
31:08but earns a trip
31:10to the free-throw line
31:12it's two for four
31:14this world cup
31:16that's a big part
31:17of where she takes
31:18her shots from
31:19she understands
31:20that high percentage
31:22of her looks
31:23naturally come
31:24from the three-point
31:25line
31:25she can do so
31:27with her 6-2 size
31:27so she spaces you
31:29out
31:30does that for
31:32the Minnesota
31:33Lynx
31:34her current team
31:38many of the
31:39or pardon me
31:40Los Lynx
31:41as they call
31:41themselves
31:42are present
31:43at this
31:43world cup

32:27high off the
32:29window
32:29despite the
32:30contest
32:30what a tough
32:32finish
32:32I think Reed
32:33had her hand
32:34on that ball
32:35as she still
32:35powered through
32:38on the other end
32:39Bibby banks
32:40at home
32:41Reed's done a
32:43really nice job
32:43of pushing the
32:44tempo
32:44and the cadence
32:45at times
32:46trying to get
32:47Australia
32:47running a little
32:48bit more
32:51real good feel
32:52for the pace
32:53having not
32:54played much
32:54only seven and a
32:56half minutes
32:56per game
32:57Fahm has doubled
32:59push pass
33:02Torrens
33:03Torrens

33:06no
33:07how about a
33:08third try
33:09not that time
33:10either
33:10but a foul
33:13those are the
33:14narrow margins
33:15that will exist
33:16for Australia
33:17finishing off
33:18defensive possessions
33:19by coming away
33:20with a rebound
33:21we've already
33:22mentioned
33:22taking care of
33:23the basketball
33:23is huge
33:24that's where
33:24we see
33:25Reed
33:26quick on the
33:27push
33:27early offense
33:28penetrates
33:28to find
33:29Bibby
33:31because the
33:31last thing
33:32you want to do
33:32is constantly
