Japan

Tomorrow's semi-final games will be crucial to all four teams as only the top two teams will qualify for the U17 World Championships in France next year.

Even after four days of tournament action, we still have four unbeaten teams left, namely China, Japan, Korea and Chinese Taipei. All four teams have won four games apiece and will play each other in the last day of the preliminaries. Regardless of the outcome of those games, these four teams have already cemented their spots in the semi-final round.

（印度‧浦那3日綜合電）第1屆亞洲16歲以下女子籃球錦標賽，在印度西部浦那市進行小組賽第4回合賽，排名B組的中馬來西亞隊以26比112慘敗給日本，吞下2連敗。

大馬在連挫哈薩克和斯里蘭卡后拿到2連勝，但面對實力強大的韓國和日本，大馬立即被打回原形，寫下2連敗戰績，取得2勝2負，積6分排在第4位。

日本在4戰全勝以8分高居榜首，明日與韓國一戰決定誰是B組盟主。

Malaysia was clearly not in the same league as their Japanese counterparts in Group B as our girls went down tamely 112-26.
