- Zimbabwe’s Joice Takaidza stood strong and consistent from all angles, able to assert herself on the contest with her smooth moving and exploit Sri Lanka’s weak spots with her impressive accuracy. That being said, it was not just Takaidza that dominated, with midcourter, Perpetua Siyachitema (26 goal assists, two pickups in three quarters) and defender, Felisitus Kwangwa (seven intercepts, five penalties) both crucial cogs across the court. While Sri Lanka had their own weapon in towering goal shooter Tharjini Sivalingam, the nation relied far too heavily on the tall timber who, despite still managing 44 goals at 98 per cent accuracy, did not provide the versatility Sri Lanka needed to convert their opportunities and gave up five turnovers – four from bad hands.
