The Chinese women's basketball team defeated Australia's Dandengnon 75-60 here on Wednesday to complete its Asian Games warm-ups.

In Monday's game, China won 91-69. Wednesday's game was identical as the home team led from the beginning and exteneded the lead on every quarter.

After a modest first half when China led 39-25, the Chinese girls dominated the board and overwhelmed their opponents on 3-pointers to make the gap over 20 points.

The Asian Games will start on Dec. 1 in Doha, Qatar.
