Following a 3-2 gruelling win over the hosts China and a lot more convincing 3-1 win against second ranked Italy, the Netherlands look to be at about the peak of their game, beating top ranked Brazil 19-25, 25-19, 25-23, 23-25, 15-8.

"I hope we could find a way to jump to the next level, and glean up more confidence that they are a capable team," Netherlands coach Avital Selinger said on Friday, stressing that their goal was next match rather than winning the title.

Saturday's action also features Brazil against Italy, a life-and-death match as both teams need a win to stay in the title run. In their most recent clash in the FIVB World Grand Prix preliminaries, Brazil held off Italy in five sets.

Taismary Aguero, who scored a game-high 30 points on Friday, will probably be the most dangerous weapon of Italy in the clash slated for Saturday evening while the Brazilians will count on their balanced attack line led by Castro Sheilla.
