Uganda’s Gazelles have secured at least a silver medal at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after defeating New Zealand 21–9 in the first women’s 3×3 basketball semifinal. The Gazelles applied pressure from the opening minutes, using active hands, quick rotations, and effective switching to contain the versatile New Zealand side. Their defensive resilience created opportunities for the offense to take control, with Uganda finding success both inside the paint and from beyond the arc. The victory guarantees Team Uganda a second medal at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, with the Gazelles now advancing to the gold medal match. Nick Natuhereza’s side will face the winner of the Australia-Jamaica semifinal in the final as they battle for Commonwealth Games glory.
