Botswana lost the final match 56-41 to Zimbabwe in the first netball world cup to be played in Africa. Out of 20 participating countries, Botswana was 10th after narrowly failing to proceed to the quarter finals due to a lesser goal ratio compared to their opponents, Uganda and Jamaica.
They started the tournament with a 72-26 win over Malaysia before accounting for Cook Islands 51-41 loss. Uganda halted the Dinaletsana’s winning run, with a 46-42 win before the local girls recorded a stunning 48-46 win over Jamaica in the final group stage match.
