Sydney Flames' Renae Garlepp and her Australian Gems are into the FIBA under 19s World Cup final, after defeating Canada 87-75 on Sunday morning (AEST).

The Gems, which also features Flame #228 Bonnie Deas, led at the first change (22-20) in Brno, Czechia and never looked back - winning the final three periods to run out 12-point winners.

Garlepp's side, who are now 5-0 in the tournament, will take on the United States (who defeated Spain 70-58 in the other semi-final) for the gold medal, which tips off at 4am AEST Monday morning.
