The 5th place game was played first on Friday before the semifinals and Malaysia defeated Kazakhstan 62-44. The next game was a surprise with Faezeh Shahriari and Iran jumping out to a lead early on their way to a 72-54 win over Aisha Sheppard and Jordan. The last game was closer, but Indonesia set up a group rematch after their 65-57 win over Thailand.
