CWG 2026: Australia Beat Canada In Overtime In 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball Classic

By IANS News July 28, 2026 • 03:10 AM View: 202

Wheelchair Basketball: Australia's Georgia Munro-Cook scored the winning points to seal an epic Women’s 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball win over Canada, serving up a stunning finish to a Commonwealth Games classic with an overtime victory over the defending champions at Glasgow 2026.

In a tit-for-tat encounter, Canada hit back from 10-7 down to draw level with a last-gasp basket from Elodie Tessier just before the buzzer.

But Munro-Cook, who had scored six of Australia’s 10 points in regular time, nailed both the extra points required to seal a 12-10 overtime win.
