Australia are yet to hit their peak form but have still been good enough none the less against the other team beating Senegal and Canada. Dominican Republic also turned out to be a tough test for them as they could only beat them by 87-82. Although Australia have been able to somehow find their winning mojo winning close games against Dominican Republic and France.
