Skip Katelyn Inch and Selina Goddard maintained their unbeaten run in Glasgow by sweeping past Botswana 9-3, 8-2.
The New Zealanders, who survived a perilous position against Kenya, had no such problems against Chinky Sinombe and Mpopi Pelemo.
They raced through the first set and maintained the pressure to claim the second set, and the match, in quick time. Goddard's play was much improved from her first outing, and Inch again came through with some great bowling under pressure.
The New Zealanders were clearly happy afterwards. 'That felt a lot more like us today,' said Inch. 'We were focusing on what we could control, we had good support behind us from our team and we were dominating the rink. It felt good to have the reset and refresh after yesterday.' Goddard said they focused on sticking to their natural game plan, but had learned a lot from their narrow escape against Kenya.
