Australia overwhelmed Türkiye en route to a comfortable 87-71 victory. The Opals nearly went wire to wire, trailing for a brief stretch in the first quarter before regaining the lead and never looking back.

Seattle Storm forward Ezi Magbegor was the game's standout performer. The Australian big had a team-high 21 points along with three rebounds and three assists.

Magbegor has missed the majority of the 2026 WNBA season through injury. Named the national team captain prior to the tournament, she's relishing her run in the World Cup.

Teammate Steph Talbot likewise looked like a different player from the one who has made 40 appearances for the Las Vegas Aces. She filled out the stat sheet with 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal.

Storm guard Jade Melbourne ran the show from the point, chipping in with eight points and three assists in 18 minutes of action.

Alanna Smith, the WNBA's reigning co-Defensive Player of the Year, was sidelined due to lower leg soreness. Australia hardly missed a beat without the Dallas Wings forward in the frontcourt.
