The game is expected to be an exciting and competitive encounter for both teams, who have met only once before at the FIBA Asia Cup. That was in the 2017 Quarter-Finals, where Australia won convincingly, 97-71.
The 16-time champions China reached the final after beating New Zealand 98-84 in Saturday's semifinal, moving within one victory of retaking the event title for the first time in ten years.
China's performance in Jeddah has been defined by consistency and composure, sweeping Group C before grinding past South Korea in the Quarter-Finals and overpowering New Zealand in the Semi-Finals.
