Malawi Queens are the only team that has a chance to deny Uganda the crown. Africa’s top ranked team will however have to score close to 100 baskets/goals in their final game against Botswana and pray for a massive collapse by the hosts. The highest score Malawi has managed in the six-nation championship is 64 against bottom side Namibia. Uganda has averaged 67 baskets in the tournament, and their goal average means all they are waiting for today, whatever the result, is to be crowned Africa’ s championship best.
