Chinese Taipei Women — China Women: 64:77, Asian Games Women

China beat Chinese Taipei 77-65 in the Asian Games on Friday. The result keeps the visitors unbeaten at the tournament with three wins from three matches. Chinese Taipei remain third in the group with one victory and two defeats.

China's position at the top of the table is secure for now. They have played everyone in their group and have not dropped a point. By then, the gap to the teams behind them will widen if they keep this form.

Chinese Taipei's campaign has been harder to navigate. They lost heavily to Japan in their last match before this one, and the defeat to China adds to their tally. The team sits third with zero points in their column so far.

Recent results show China have scored freely against weaker opposition, including an 110-41 victory over Indonesia. But they also fell to France in a previous outing. Chinese Taipei have shown flashes of promise, beating Malaysia and Mongolia, but the consistency has been lacking.

The standings will shift once the final round of group matches is played. For now, China lead with maximum points while Chinese Taipei need to find a way to close the gap.
