South Africa vs Uganda prediction

It would be completely understandable if motivation couldn’t be any lower right now for South Africa. After winning their first three games, defeats against Australia and England respectively has ultimately led to them missing out in the group stage of the Commonwealth Games netball tournament for the sixth straight time, also finishing third-place in their group for the fifth time in a row.

Despite this, they are a better team than Uganda, who also fell short of the semi-finals despite pushing the likes of New Zealand hard. When matched up against the Proteas, it’s the defensive prowess of South Africa that should give them the edge. Therefore, back this encounter to go the way of South Africa rather than Uganda.
