PETALING JAYA: A stellar performance by KL Wildcats’ Shadiah Nassanga (pic) gave them the edge to beat the Putrajaya Dynamites and win the 2025 Netball Super League (NSL) title on Sunday.

The Wildcats won by a single point in the final seconds through Nassanga, giving them their second title winning by a 46-45 score against the Dynamites at Stadium Juara.

Nassanga, an import player from Uganda who had signed a one-year contract with the Wildcats, earned herself the top shooter award, scoring a total of 386 points throughout the four-week season.

During the final, the Wildcats started on the right foot in the early stages of the match to take a 14-7 lead within 15 minutes.

They continued to keep the momentum high in the second quarter with Nassanga coordinating attacks to see them lead 26-17.

Things started to get close in the third quarter with the Dynamites catching up and leveling the game at 33-33.

In the final quarter, the score was tied at 45-45, but Nassanga’s last-minute shot with three seconds left gave her side the 46–45 victory.

The Wildcats’ J. Leisharaani took the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title after providing 117 goal assists throughout the season, as well as the Best Attacker award.

Meanwhile, last year’s champions Johor Jewels took third place in the league after defeating Perak Phoenix 40-32 in the third-place playoff.
