Pool C play continues Sunday at the Tokyo Dome as Japan takes on Australia in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
Japan enters the matchup riding strong momentum after winning its first two games of the tournament, including a dominant opener highlighted by a grand slam from superstar Shohei Ohtani that helped spark a lopsided victory over Chinese Taipei. With the defending champions playing in front of a packed home crowd in Tokyo, Japan will look to keep its offense rolling and remain unbeaten in Pool C.

Australia, meanwhile, will be aiming to slow down one of the tournament’s most dangerous lineups while keeping itself in the hunt in the pool standings. The Australians have continued to grow as an international program in recent years and will rely on disciplined pitching and timely hitting to stay competitive against the star-studded Japanese roster.
With Japan chasing another statement win and Australia hoping to pull off a key upset, Sunday’s matchup could play an important role in shaping the outlook of Pool C.
