Uganda's She Cranes destroyed reigning champions Zimbabawe Gems 61-45 baskets to take a four point lead with one game to go in the Africa netball championships at Lugogo today.

The She Cranes remain the only undefeated side at the six-nation African Championships, with only Zambia and Malawi who play each other later today, the ones still in the race for the title. The two sides will have to score well more than 100 baskets in their last two games to be able to overhaul Uganda at the top.

Uganda confirmed their title credentials with victory over the top ranked team in the competition Malawi Queens (ranked 6th in the world)  by 66 to 43 baskets on Monday. Uganda is ranked 13th,  Zimbabwe 16th and Zambia 15th in the world.

If Zambia beats Malawi today, it will be a straight battle for the title on the final day – Uganda vs Zambia. Whatever the result, Uganda's superior goal average should see them crowned African champions on Thursday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has given the She Cranes and the U-20 netball teams a sh96 million boost.

Team       P  W  D  L   PTS     GOAL AV

Zambia      3   2   0    1    4           171
Zimbabwe 4   2   0    2    4           205
Malawi      3    2   0    1    4           162
Botswana  4   1   0    4    2
