The Australian women’s basketball team is just one match away from an assured medal and will take on the United States of America in the semi-final at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The Australia vs USA basketball match in the Paris 2024 Olympics women’s semi-final will be available on live streaming and on TV in Australia. The AUS vs USA basketball match will take place at the Bercy Arena and starts at 1:30 AM AEST on Saturday.

The Opals are yet to win an Olympic gold medal since women’s basketball made its Summer Games debut at Montreal 1976. They have finished runners-up in three consecutive Olympics – Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.

The Australian women’s team has also won two bronze medals at Atlanta 1996 and Rio 2016. However, they have come up short in the last two editions of the Olympics and finished eighth at Tokyo 2020.

The Opals made it to the semi-finals after outclassing Serbia 85-67. They also finished second in their group despite conceding a loss to Nigeria in their Paris 2024 opener.

Standing between them and an assured medal, however, are nine-time Olympic champions USA. Besides their withdrawal at the 1980 Summer Games, the USA women’s basketball team has medalled at every single Olympics.

They have won the gold medal in each of the last seven editions of the Olympics and beat hosts Japan in the final at Tokyo 2020. USA recorded an 88-74 victory over Nigeria in the last eight to set up a semi-final clash with Australia. They also beat Germany, Belgium and Japan and had a remarkable record in the group stage.

The winner of the semi-final will qualify for the gold medal match whereas the side losing this contest will play for bronze. Both the matches will be held on Sunday.
