Uganda secured a well-deserved 64-40 victory against Wales in the Netball Test Series encounter that was played at House of Sports, Cardiff.
Coming into this encounter, Wales won the opening game 57-45 in a game they shocked a fatigued She Cranes in front of a loud crowd.
The first quarter ended 14-14 as the two sides went toe to toe in the tough game. It was a close game that saw each ball contested and each pass followed with no room for error.
However, She Cranes took the game to the hosts suffocating the contact play with a swift play that witnessed quick passes allowing a smooth transition and the score was 30-24. It was a six-goal lead for Uganda at halftime.
Uganda’s impressive show was extended to the third quarter as they outscored Wales 19-6 in the third quarter of the game.
As Wales fought to bounce back in the game in the fourth quarter, they suffered a big blow as Wales’s joint captain Bethan Dyke was lifted off the court due to an injury.
Uganda easily sealed a commanding 64-40 victory against Wales. The 1-1 series scoreboard sets up a thrilling show in the final game that will be played later today (Saturday) at the same venue.
