Uganda stomped Malawi 46-33 at the Griffins Saenda Sports Complex in Lilongwe to reach the Africa Netball Cup final, and Shadia Nassanga Ssegujja picked up player of the match honors. The She Cranes went up 12-7 after the first quarter, then stretched their advantage to 24-15 by halftime. They basically put the game away in the third period by outscoring the hosts 11-7 to make it 35-22.
Malawi fought back in the final quarter and matched Uganda's output, but the damage was already done. The She Cranes will face South Africa in the championship match, and they know they need to avoid their usual slow starts against the Proteas while staying disciplined to limit penalties.
Uganda has beaten Kenya 46-45, Zimbabwe 59-38, and Namibia 47-39 earlier in the competition.
