Head to Head

South Africa have won four of the last five between the sides including their last clash in November 2022, which finished 27-22.

South Africa Form

South Africa had to be at their best in their last match as they took a point from reigning world champions New Zealand in an enthralling 48-48 draw.

This match means that the tournament hosts sit in third in the group, two points behind New Zealand in second.

With a crunch match with Jamaica to come for New Zealand, South Africa know they could leapfrog the world champions if Jamaica win their game and South Africa win and overturn the points difference between themselves and New Zealand.

Uganda Form

Uganda have looked good at the 2023 Netball World Cup, with the side returning to winning ways with a hard-fought 73-56 win over Wales which saw them bounce back from a 61-49 loss to Jamaica.

Currently sitting in fourth in the group with four points, Uganda will leapfrog South Africa and move into third if they win this clash.
