The SPAR proteas from start stormed to a 13-9 first quarter lead , then the She Cranes fired back, taking the second phase 13-11.

After intermission, the two sides put up an extremely entertaining and an eye-catching display as both sides fought tooth and nail to win the quarter but unfortunately, South Africa narrowly took it with a 15-13 margin.

And in the final quarter, South Africa cemented their place with a 14-7 compounding of the She Cranes who had visibly dropped their guard taking the overall victory.
