The men's lost losing 46-27 to Kenya whilst senior women netball team also lost their third position match 53-44 to Zimbabwe.

Kenya's early advantage in height, led by shooter Francis Wachira, dominated Botswana's defence. Larona Matlhaga was able to find the net for Botswana as the game progressed. By then Kenya were enjoying the lead. Despite Botswana's comeback, narrowing the margin to 11-9 by the quarter's end, Wachira's relentless play continued. Tuelo Kgomokhumo was unfortunate as his attempt hit the outer ring while the Kenyan defence was fast enough to steer clear of danger.
