Steph Talbot has been the engine of Australia's run through this tournament—55.7 TIB efficiency, 14.7 points and 3.3 assists per game in recent weeks. Italy will need Cecilia Zandalasini operating at her sharpest to keep pace; the forward is running 29.5 efficiency with 15 points and 2.3 assists. That disparity in efficiency tells the story heading in. Talbot's decision-making and floor management have been a level above; Zandalasini's scoring touch remains reliable, but Australia's guard is doing more with each possession. The question isn't whether Italy can score—it's whether they can match the tempo and flow Talbot orchestrates. Italy and Australia tip off in three hours at the FIBA Women's World Cup. Tune in to see if Zandalasini can tighten that gap.
