Uganda’s She Cranes upset South Africa 54-48 to claim the fifth spot at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Friday.

The win means She Cranes managed to better their 2018 Commonwealth Games performance. In 2018, the She Cranes settled for the sixth position after the team suffered a defeat against South Africa.

At the ongoing games, Uganda, which is competing for the second time at the event, started with a loss against New Zealand (53-40), but the team has managed to bounce back as they have picked up four wins against Trinidad and Tobago, Northern Ireland, Malawi, and South Africa.
