Standard Life GB Women's Head Coach, Damian Jennings commented on the live streaming: "It is fantastic that our home game against Germany on Sunday will be broadcast live via the GB website. It is the GB women's 100th game so to celebrate it in this way is something very special.
"The live stream will provide all our team, particularly the younger players, with a great platform to reach a wider audience. I hope as many basketball fans as possible will tune in for what promises to be an extremely competitive game to mark GB's 100th outing."
