South Africa made a clean sweep of the three-match SPAR Challenge Netball Test series against Malawi with a record-breaking 41 goal win in the third and final test at the Sun City.
The SPAR Proteas won the match 69-28 after leading 36-16 at half-time. The winning margin was one goal better than the previous record, set on the first match on Thursday night.
“We achieved more than we expected in this series,” said Badenhorst.
“It is not often when you play African teams that you are able to play all 15 players in your squad. We met the targets that we set in each of the matches and I am very satisfied.”
Malawi coach Peace Chawinga-Kaluwa said she was disappointed with the outcome of the series.
“But is has been a big wake-up call. We are grateful to have played some international netball, but when we go home we know we have to make sure the players don’t remain idle but keep fit for action.
“The lack of match fitness was a problem and they were unable to take the momentum through to the later stages of the match,” she said.
The Proteas will play a series against Uganda in early 2021. South Africa is ranked fifth in the world, with Malawi sixth and Uganda seventh.
