Malawi, who are currently ranked sixth in the world put up a good show of keeping on scoring goals when they humbled the she cranes in their pool E game.

The She Cranes were expected to make amends after they recorded their first loss against Wales in Day 3 of their final group D game but the Malawi Queens were too strong to handle. Malawi Queens were dominant for most of the game leading the she cranes in three quarters. The final quarter was the highlight of the game but it was too little too late for the she cranes to get the win they badly needed. Malawi Queens depended mostly on their star shooter Mwayi Kimwenda and goal attacker Sindi Simtowe while the She cranes had Peace Proscovia leading the shooting with Rachael Nanyonga spearheading the goal attacks. It was a tight game overall but the she cranes could not contain the Malawi queens with most Ugandans still showing support for their team in the reactions below.
