Two global rivals will meet again on Friday, as the United States women's basketball team goes up against the Australian Opals with a spot in the gold medal match of the 2024 Paris Games on the line.

Team USA, which is riding a streak of 59 consecutive Olympic wins, advanced to the semifinals with an 88-74 triumph over Nigeria on Wednesday.

Following an upset loss to Nigeria in their Olympic opener, the Opals have strung together three straight victories, including Wednesday's 85-67 quarterfinal win over Serbia.

While the U.S. women have been the gold standard for basketball across the world, winning seven consecutive Olympic gold medals and nine overall, Australia has been a historic powerhouse alongside them.
