World Champions - Silver Ferns Win Thriller

The Silver Ferns are 2019 Netball world champions. They have beaten Australia 52 to 51 to claim the Netball world championships. Australia were the hot favourites going into the competition. They had been the world champions since 2003. That means New Zealand has now won the title 5 times.

The match itself, as you would except, exciting. The Silver Ferns led 28-25 at half time and then by 4 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Australia fought back in the last quarter and won it by three goals but New Zealand did enough to stay in the game.

New Zealand captain, Casey Kopua said after the game. "It's all worth it when you have the belief nothing can stop you. I can't believe we've done it. It's not just for us it's for everyone in New Zealand."
