The Uganda She Cranes are set to face Malawi today in the semi-final of the 2024 Netball Africa Cup at the MTC Dome in Swakopmund Municipality, Namibia. The match, a highly anticipated showdown, will tip off at 2 PM.
The She Cranes advanced to the semi-finals after an impressive and commanding performance against Eswatini on Thursday, securing a dominant 85-34 victory. This marked their second win in the ongoing Africa Netball Cup, following a hard-fought 55-43 triumph over host nation Namibia. Despite a narrow 49-50 loss to Zimbabwe in their opener, the Nelson Bogere-coached team has displayed resilience and determination throughout the tournament.
Now in the semi-finals, Uganda dreams of reclaiming the Africa Netball Cup title, a trophy they last lifted in 2018. Ranked second on the continent and boasting three Africa Netball Cup championships in their history, the She Cranes are determined to end their six-year title drought. After finishing as runners-up in 2021, Bogere’s squad is eager to seize this opportunity and etch their name in the annals of netball history once again.
In the other semi-final, South Africa will take on Zimbabwe in a clash scheduled for 1 PM. Both matches set the stage for what promises to be an exhilarating final this Saturday.
