Day 4 Recap
Unfortunately, it was a sad ending for our women's, quads, and junior teams as their journey came to an end at the 2024 BNP Paribas World Team Cup in Turkey due to injuries. The three teams had to withdraw from the competition: the semifinals for the women and 5th – 8th playoffs for both quads and boys teams after Kgothatso Montjane, Donald Ramphadi, and Ntando Nokama retired due to injuries.
On a brighter note, the men’s team defeated Austria 3-0 and will play for the 9th and 10th positions on Sunday against Sri Lanka.
