Han Xu stars again as China seal second spot in World Cup group

China beat Italy 71-51 to lock up second place in their group at the Fiba Women's Basketball World Cup. Han Xu delivered her second straight double-double, leading the team with 19 points. The New York Liberty centre keeps finding her rhythm at the wrong time for opponents. Teenage sensation Zhang Ziyu added eight points and shot perfectly from the field. The 7ft 3in forward helped China carve out an 18-point lead at one point before closing it out.
