Latvia's women's team defeated Lithuania 83-65 in an international friendly match played in Lithuania on 7 August 2026. The result gives Latvia a comfortable victory on the road, while Lithuania will need to look at this one and see what went wrong. The scoreline tells you the story — Latvia were the better side from start to finish.
And here's the thing, you can see the pattern in recent form. Latvia have won their last five matches in a row, including a 70-60 win over Sweden just yesterday. Lithuania's results are mixed — they lost to Finland 81-70 on 6 August and to the Netherlands 73-64 in March, but they have also beaten Sweden and Slovenia in their last five games.
To be fair, the visitors were always in control. Eighty-three points against sixty-five is not a close contest and it shows Latvia were the sharper side. They scored at will and Lithuania could not find a way back into this one. The final margin tells you everything about how this game played out.
By then, Latvia had already put the result beyond doubt. Lithuania had nothing to play for after the opening exchanges and could not string together any meaningful runs. The hosts were chasing the game for most of the afternoon and it showed in the scoreboard.
This result extends Latvia's winning streak and adds another point to their growing confidence. Lithuania, meanwhile, will be looking for answers — they have lost two of their last five and this result adds to the picture. The gap between the sides was clear on the day and the scoreline does not lie.
