NZ Silver Ferns

Silver Ferns upset Australia to capture title

New Zealand stunned three-time defending champions Australia 52-51 in a thrilling Netball World Cup final in Liverpool on Sunday (Monday morning NZ time). 

It completes a massive 11-month turnaround from the Ferns under coach Noeline Taurua who took over last August, following last April's harrowing performance at the 2018 Commonwealth Games under previous coach Janine Southby. 

New Zealand last won the World Cup trophy in 2003 in Jamaica, losing finals to Australia in 2007, 2011, and 2015.
